The case against the leader of People Against Gangsterism and Drugs was this afternoon postponed in the Athlone Magistrate Court.  

Abdus Salaam Ebrahim has been charged on three counts of murder and one of attempted murder. 

Pagad’s Cassiem Parker said it is unfortunate that Ebhrahim has to spend the weekend in jail. The leader is expected back in court on the 26th of August for a formal bail application. 

Parker added that it is clear that the police have not formulated any clear charges yet and they do not have anything linking Abdus to the crimes.

"It is a prosecution of the highest order and detention without trial,” Parker added.
