CAIRO: A Cairo court session for Al-Jazeera television journalists being retried has been adjourned, Al-Jazeera said on its Twitter feed Thursday.

Thursday's court session had been expected to deliver a verdict.

"We are extremely angry that the verdict has been adjourned today," Al Jazeera Media Network's spokesperson tweeted on @AJENews.

The reason for the postponement was not immediately clear. 

Australia's Peter Greste, Canadian Mohammad Fahmy and Egyptian Baher Mohammad were sentenced last year for "spreading false news" in support of the blacklisted Muslim Brotherhood during their coverage of the turmoil after the army ousted Islamist president Mohammad Morsi in July 2013.

Greste and Fahmy received seven years, while Mohammad was jailed for 10 years in June 2014.

An appeals court ordered a retrial, saying the initial verdict lacked evidence against the three journalists working for the Doha-based network's English channel.
