The future of the 60 Minutes crew being held in Beirut remains unclear after their case was adjourned yesterday.
The pictures are the first since the crew – which includes Tara Brown, Stephen Rice, Ben Williamson and David Ballment – and mother Sally Faulkner,were arrested 13 days ago.
Along with Faulkner, they are facing charges of kidnapping and being active members in a criminal gang. The maximum sentencing for the charges are three and 10 years respectively.
Tara Brown was seen in handcuffs, being escorted into a police car, looking exhausted and dishevelled.
But after an adjournment issued by the judge yesterday, they are set to spend at least another two nights in jail until their fates are determined.
The judge in the case, Rami Abdullah, said the adjournment was to allow for negotiations.
“It’s not a custody case my friend. They are charged with kidnapping two kids. It’s not a custody case at all,” he said.
The case is set to go before the court again on Wednesday.
