The trial of the only suspect charged over the arson attack on the opposition-aligned Raajje TV resumed today after a six-month hiatus.
Mohamed Meead is the only suspect to stand trial out of 18 young men arrested in connection with the attack. The Prosecutor General’s office cited lack of evidence to charge the others.
Meead was serving a lengthy jail sentence for drug trafficking when he was charged with terrorism in October last year.
At today’s hearing, the prosecution submitted a list of four witnesses, a medico-legal report, and video analysis to show that Meead was the one who lit the fire.
