(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - Matar Matar and Jawad Fayrouz, who were arrested at gunpoint in early May, appeared in court in two separate cases but facing the same charges, according to state news agency BNA.
They were both accused of "public incitement for regime change and deliberately spreading biased rumours, in addition to taking part in public gatherings," BNA said, adding that they pleaded not guilty.
The military prosecutor argued that their alleged confessions and "technical evidence" were enough to convict them.
The hearing in the case of Fayruz was adjourned until June 19, while Matar's trial will reconvene on June 21.
