The accused appeared before .. for the mention of their case and fixing of hearing dates.

The prosecution has lined up six witnesses to testify against the four accused persons.

The court set the hearing date for October 25

They denied the charge of participating in an unlawful assembly as police claimed that the demonstrations they attended had been banned.

It was alleged that on Wednesday 19 July, the four took part in a procession and chanted anti-government slogans thereby causing members of the public to reasonably fear that they were assembled to commit a breach of peace.
