18. 在 Mahloof 先生的辩护团队召开新闻发布会后，2016 年 7 月 25 日，刑事法庭宣布禁止 Mahloof先生第二起案件中的一位代理律师在该案中为其代理。刑事法庭称，此举系因该律师在接受媒体采访过程中企图在公众当中制造关于该案的不良印象，从而企图利用大众媒体对该案结果施加不应有影响。同日，Mahloof先生在针对其提起的第二起案件中，在其律师被禁止代理该案的情况下，又被判定犯有阻挠警方执行公务罪，监禁 6 个月。
18. Following the press conference held by Mr. Mahloof’s legal defence team, on 25 July 2016, the criminal court announced that a lawyer representing Mr. Mahloof in his second case would be barred from representing him in the case. It stated that this was because in his media interview, the lawyer had attempted to create a bad impression among the public regarding the case, thereby attempting to unduly influence the outcome of the case using public media. On the same day, his lawyer having been barred from the case, Mr. Mahloof was again convicted for obstruction of police duty in the second case against him and imprisoned for six months.
