The Court of First Instance (TJB) said in a statement yesterday that it has decided to reschedule the proposed November 28 trial of directly-elected lawmaker Sulu Sou Ka Hou for alleged aggravated disobedience.
According to the statement, the court made the decision in response to a request by the Legislative Assembly (AL) to postpone the trial – as the legislature said it was unable to arrange a plenary session before the initially-scheduled November 28 trial date to decide whether Sou should be suspended so that he can be put on trial for the alleged crime.
The statement said that the court would decide on the new date of Sou’s trial only if the legislature votes to suspend him.
