Another protected witness has commenced testimony in the Shala trial this morning. The witness with the pseudonym TW4-01 is the 7th SPO witness so far. The Panel announced that, due to the protection of the witness’ identity and his well-being, it is envisaged that his testimony will be given to a large extent in private session. The Panel also said that, following the completion of the evidence of this witness, the transcript of his testimony will be revised in due course and will be made public, as much as possible.
