The Sindh High Court (SHC) on Tuesday postponed the appeals hearing for four men convicted in the killing of Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl after a request from one of the men's attorneys, an official said. The SHC adjourned the hearing until August 8 after two lawyers who were recently appointed asked for more time to study the case, said Habib Ahmed, a government prosecutor. The lawyers for Ahmed Omar Saeed Sheikh, a British-born militant facing the death sentence for killing Pearl, will replace Abdul Waheed Katpar, who had been Sheikh's defence counsel at trial.Sheikh and three other men, who were sentenced to life in prison, were convicted in July 2002 for their part in Pearl's killing. All the four men have appealed their convictions, but the appeals hearings have been postponed several times. Four other suspects are still at large. Earlier this month, Sheikh was moved to the Central Prison in Karachi from a jail in Hyderabad where he had been held since his conviction. Police cited security reasons for moving Sheikh to Karachi.
