STL condemns media reports on alleged witness identities

The STL condemned the recent media reports claiming to reveal the identities of individuals who may be called to testify before the STL as witnesses.                   

In a statement released via the STL website, the Tribunal denounced "in the strongest possible terms any attempts at witness intimidation," adding that Publicly identifying individuals as potential STL witnesses may endanger these individuals whether or not they are linked to the Tribunal. Given these security concerns, the STL stressed that it will not confirm whether the content of the news reports is accurate or not.                

"Any efforts by individuals or the media to disclose confidential material or to undermine the administration of justice are taken very seriously by the STL's four organs. Persons who disclose confidential information from the STL may be in direct contravention of judicial orders and be subject to judicial proceedings for contempt," the statement concluded.
