SINGAPORE: The four Singaporeans, accused by the US of illegally exporting bomb parts to Iran, have been remanded for another seven days.
Their next court appearance will be on Tuesday, 8 November, where the judge will fix a date for the committal hearing to take place.
At the committal hearing, likely to take place end of this month, the judge will decide if there are sufficient grounds for them to be extradited to the US.
All four, who were shackled, appeared solemn at their second court appearance on November 1.
Relatives were also at the court session which started at 5.25pm.
A relative of 37-year-old Lim Yong Nam was seen breaking down when Lim appeared at the dock.
Lim's lawyer asked for his client to be assessed for a psychiatric report at the Institute of Mental Health.
The lawyer said this will help him advise his client on any bail option.
But the judge declined the request saying a medical assessment will be done by a prison doctor instead.
