The Court of First Instance (TJB) said in a statement yesterday that it has approved a request to postpone the date of the trial of directly-elected lawmaker Sulu Sou Ka Hou and fellow non-establishment activist Scott Chiang Meng Hin for alleged aggravated disobedience, from today as previously scheduled to Tuesday next week.
The court approved to postpone the trial date in response to an urgent request by the duo’s recently-hired defence lawyer who would need time to prepare for the trial.
The New Macau Association (NMA) said in a statement on Sunday that Sou and Chiang had hired local Portuguese lawyer Jorge Menezes as their counsel for their trial.
