Haradinaj et al. Re-Trial Opening Statements (session 1) (part 2/5) - 18 August 2011

This is the first re-trial to take place before the Tribunal. In July 2010, the Appeals Chamber ordered a partial re-trial of the case following its conclusion that the Trial Chamber had seriously erred in failing to appreciate the gravity of the threat that witness intimidation posed to the trial's integrity. According to the Appeals Chamber, the Trial Chamber's error undermined the fairness of the proceedings and resulted in a miscarriage of justice. All three Accused are to be re-tried on six counts of the indictment relating to the torture and murder of prisoners in the KLA-run camp in Jablanica.
