The judgment of the six Pakistanis and an Iranian charged with trafficking heroin worth Sh1.3 billion will wait for a month until the ship assistant captain gets well.

The Pakistanis have been in Shimo la Tewa Prison since 2014 after their ship Armin Darya was intercepted on the high seas by American forces.
