Asadi denies the charge of offending IslamYemeni lawyers have called for a newspaper editor to be sentenced to death for showing cartoons depicting the Prophet Muhammad, his paper says.
Muhammad al-Asadi was arrested after his publication, the Yemen Observer, showed the Danish cartoons in February.
He denies the charges of offending Islam, under which he is being tried. The English-language newspaper has had its licence to publish suspended, although its staff have continued to produce material online.
Lawyers leading a civil case against publishers of the cartoons - in addition to the public case - cited precedents from Muslim history when the prophet was insulted by a woman and then praised her killer.
Prosecutors have reportedly requested that the Yemen Observer be closed permanently and have its property and assets confiscated.
The trial was adjourned until 22 March.

CultFree's note:Here is the hadith used as the basis of the lawyers, state and cleric's demanding the death penalty. Note how muhammad condones and dismisses the murder of a pregnant slave woman who was critical of him, and that she was already the mother of two children of the murderer. This once again illustrates the primitive (not to mention misogynist) basis of political islam and sharia law. Hadith is #4348
