Bahrain Mirror: A Bahraini court postponed the trial of president of Bahrain Center for Human Rights and prominent activist Nabeel Rajab until December 15, instead of issuing a verdict against him.

This is the second time the court postpones his verdict.

The court, however, decided to adjourn the case until December 15 to hire a cybercrime expert to identify who manages Rajab's Twitter account.

Nabeel Rajab is being tried over tweets he posted in March 2015 in which he criticized war on Yemen and talked about torture in Jaw prison.

Rajab's arrest enraged international organizations. Meanwhile, Washington rejected the charges brought against him and publically called to drop them and release him.

If convicted, Rajab might face up to 13 years in prison, according to human rights organizations.
