Leidschendam, 18th March 2011- The Special Tribunal for Lebanon can confirm that the Prosecutor submitted a confidential and ex parte application to the Pre-Trial Judge on 10th March 2011. The filing, which relates to documents that Mr El Sayed alleges are connected to his detention in Lebanon, was ordered by the Pre-Trial Judge on 7th February 2011. The Prosecutor was asked to provide reasons why the release of these documents could amongst other things prejudice ongoing or future investigations or could put people's lives at risk.
The Pre-Trial Judge is currently studying the Prosecutor's application and will rule on it in due course. The decision to publicly confirm this filing was made with the approval of the Pre-Trial Judge.
