The retrial of three Al Jazeera journalists has been adjourned for a tenth time in Egypt.
The court in Cairo said on Sunday that a verdict in the case would now be delivered on August 29.
Egyptian Baher Mohamed, Canadian Mohamed Fahmy and Australian Peter Greste were found guilty in June 2014 of aiding a terrorist organisation, a reference to the Muslim Brotherhood, which was outlawed in Egypt after the army overthrew President Mohamed Morsi in 2013.
Greste and Fahmy received seven years, while Mohamed was given 10 years.
After the announcement that the trial had once again been adjourned, Greste described the situation as “frustrating as hell.”
He said that until there is a verdict, none of the accused can move on with their lives.
