The hearing of the case involving 84 people charged with establishing and managing a terrorist organisation in the UAE, has been adjourned to March 14.
The proceedings have been postponed by the Abu Dhabi Federal Appeals Court, in order to complete hearing defence pleas.
The charges against the defendants include planning terrorist acts, fundraising for an organisation known as the 'Justice and Dignity Committee' and concealing the source and destination of those funds.
The Prosecution already concluded its arguments across two sessions last month.
During a session on Thursday, which was attended by the defendants' families and media representatives, the court heard over five hours of defence arguments.
The lawyers for the accused challenged the validity of the charges presented by the Prosecution and contested the evidence submitted.
They demanded the acquittal and release of their clients. The court adjourned the case to allow for the completion of the defence presentation.
