Hashim Thaҫi: Trial Panel’s decision on request for temporary release also available online

After the Pre-Trial Judge's ruling that we reported on last week, the Trial Panel in the case for war crimes and crimes against humanity against Thaci and others has also denied the same request for Hashim Thaci's temporary release. The public redacted version of this decision is now also available in our Public Court Records.

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.
