STL sets March 25, 2013 as the tentative date for trial to begin

Pre-Trial Judge Daniel Fransen has set 25 March 2013 as the tentative date for trial to begin.

On another note, the United States authorities issued yesterday the license required for Mr John Jones to continue to represent Mr Mustafa Badreddine, one of the accused in the Ayyash et al proceedings.

Salim Jamil Ayyash is one of the four individuals named in the indictment issued in the attack on the former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafiq Hariri and others on 14 February 2005.

The US Treasury Department had imposed sanctions against Mr Badreddine last week. The defense counsel for Mr Badreddine had requested clarification from the Tribunal's President on whether Mr Jones, a dual US/UK citizen, can continue to represent Mr Badreddine.

Mr Badreddine's defense team can now continue to prepare for trial. The Appeals Chamber has scheduled a hearing on 1 October for the Defense to present a final challenge to the Tribunal's legality.
