An Egyptian court on Sunday adjourned for the second time the verdict in the long-running retrial of three Al Jazeera television journalists to August 29.

Baher Mohamed, Mohamed Fahmy and Peter Greste were found guilty last year of aiding the outlawed Muslim Brotherhood.

Greste and Fahmy received seven years, while Mohamed was given 10 years.

Greste is being retried in absentia while Fahmy and Mohamed are on bail after spending more than 400 days in detention.

Nine previous sessions to deliver Sunday’s verdict were adjourned.
