The trial of a journalist who was charged with assaulting a policeman resumed Sunday after a seven-month hiatus.
Hussain Fiyaz Moosa, Raajje TV’s chief operating officer who has denied the charge, said the long gap had led him to believe that the charges were dropped.
The veteran journalist could face a jail sentence of more than a month if found guilty
The misdemeanour charge relates to Fiyaz’s arrest during the opposition-aligned station’s coverage of a police attempt to defuse a bomb in November 2015.
