Brief Zunar Update: Trial Delayed Again; Probably Delayed Until Intention Ruling On Sedition

Zunar sent out a quick note early in the week to note that, as I think was expected, the December trial date for his multiple sedition charges isn't going to happen. A new date has been sent for January 28, although the note also indicates that the case is likely to be postponed further until some designations are made in some some supporting rulings filed on the cartoonist's behalf about the nature of sedition law applied in cases like his.

As always, we hope for the most beneficial outcome and remain agog at this second round of legal maneuvers by police authorities following a first round that at least could be partly explained away -- although never excused -- by structural ignorance concerning how satire works.
