6:30 Court effectively in closed session tomorrow

Posted by Webmaster on January 24, 2008

The Special Court’s press office sent a notice to journalists and monitors this evening, stating that the current witness will be heard in closed session for the next couple of days and it will no longer be possible to follow the trial in the public gallery or media center until this witness is finished giving testimony.  Another source at the Special Court says that under the judges’ order relating to this witness, the public gallery will technically still be open, but beyond blocking the public’s view of the witness, no audio will be available in the public gallery.  Effectively, no public information will emerge from the trial tomorrow.
