Head of STL Defense Office: Sessions to be Hold Soon
Head of the Special Tribunal for Lebanon Defense Office Francois Roux revealed that "the STL prosecutor and the Defense team will hold regular sessions very soon before STL Pre-Trial Judge Daniel Fransen in order to gauge the progress of procedures."
In an interview with "an-Nahar", Roux said: "Trial in absentia is much harder for the defense team." He went on saying that the defense needs time to analyze the prosecutor's extensive file, adding: "Over the course of the coming weeks or months, the STL will witness intensive judicial activity prior to the trial."
"The Defense Office therefore plays an important role in assisting the Defense team in its duties," he continued revealing that since the release of the STL indictment, several Lebanese lawyers have decided to sign up for the Defense."
"I am certain that several experience Lebanese lawyers will be part of the Defense team," he claimed.
