Jim Fitton, 66, who is charged with artefact smuggling, has had his trial date postponed.
A retired British geologist facing the death penalty for allegedly attempting to remove artefacts from Iraq faces a further two weeks in a holding cell after his trial was postponed.
He was arrested alongside German tourist, Volker Waldmann, after the items were found in their possession at Baghdad airport on 20 March. His defence lawyer, Furat Kubba, argued more information was needed about the historical significance of the 12 items found in their possession."I am thinking of Jim again today, another two weeks in a holding cell is a cruel ordeal, this situation could have been avoided if the Foreign Office acted earlier," said Ms Hobhouse.
