Daily Star - STL judges issue ruling on Sayyed detention files, April 19, 2012

BEIRUT: The Special Tribunal for Lebanon ruled in a decision issued Wednesday that only relevant documents that may explain why Jamil Sayyed had been detained or why he should have been released must be disclosed by the prosecutor by May 18 at the latest.

Judges in the court’s Appeals Chamber set the deadline but rejected a request by Sayyed to sanction the prosecutor for contempt and misconduct for not handing over the documents.

They also decided that the prosecutor does not need to hand over exact copies of previously disclosed documents.

Sayyed was detained for almost three-and-a-half years as part of an investigation into the 2005 assassination of former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri.

The STL ordered his release shortly after the court was established in 2009.
