Statement of Judge David Baragwanath, President of the Special Tribunal for Lebanon, to Hassan Habib Merhi

Leidschendam, 13 December 2013 – "Seven weeks ago, on 21 October 2013, I invited you to consider whether you are prepared to face the Special Tribunal for Lebanon to answer the charges in the indictment. These are very serious charges, including acts of terrorism and murder. I urge you to get legal advice and appoint a lawyer to represent you before the Tribunal. As an alternative to appearing in person in the Netherlands, you may have the right to participate in hearings by video-conference."
The indictment against Mr. Merhi was confirmed in June this year.
