Abu Dhabi: The Abu Dhabi Federal Court of First Instance on Wednesday has adjourned a hearing regarding a lawsuit filed by seven people against the Ministry of Interior for having their citizenships revoked.

The hearing will now be held on May 16 as per the Ministry's request to present documents and formulate a reply to memorandums presented by the seven plaintiffs.

In December, the UAE revoked the citizenships on the grounds that the seven posed a threat to national security.
