TUNIS: A second trial of Tunisia's ousted president, which had been due to start Thursday has been postponed until July 4 because of a strike by judges. Judge Touhami Hafi announced the postponement of the case against the exiled Zine El Abidine Ben Ali, in which he has been charged with the illegal possessions of arms and drugs, in a statement to the court in Tunis. The announcement had been expected as judges called a three-day strike from Tuesday in protest at what they said were threats and harassment from the justice ministry even after the fall of Ben Ali's regime.
