Hashim Thaҫi: decisions on request for temporary release available online

On 31 January 2025, Trial Panel II and the Pre-trial Judge denied a request for temporary release on compassionate grounds of Hashim Thaҫi. The decisions were based on the circumstances of Mr. Thaci’s father at the time the request was made, two weeks ago.

The public redacted versions of these decisions were filed on 11 and 12 February and are available here and here. The legal framework of the Kosovo Specialist Chambers allows detained persons to make requests for a custodial visit to Kosovo when there are compelling humanitarian grounds. The relevant judges decide on any such requests, based on the information provided at the time a request is made.
