An Abu Dhabi court of misdemeanours has heard a case of a writer who was accused of defamation for using social media to speak against Emirati women who work in the media.

The court adjourned the proceedings to prepare a defence for the next hearing on February 22.

The case is about a group of Emirati women working for local TV channels who lodged a complaint against the writer after he published words of insult, taunt, ridicule, slander and contempt against these women on social media.

The accused testified he writes articles in a local newspaper, where he discusses social issues of interest to the community.
