Please be informed that the public redacted versions of the filings and the decision concerning Salih Mustafa’s request for temporary release submitted in December last year are now available.
As reflected in the filings, the Single Judge was seized of Mustafa’s request to visit his father in hospital on Monday, 22 December, and on the same day issued a decision requesting further submissions from the parties. On the following day, the Defence filed an additional submission, including updated medical documentation. At the time of the passing of Salih Mustafa’s father on 25 December, further submissions were still pending before the Single Judge.
Subsequently, the Single Judge invited the Defence to indicate whether it wished to amend the initial request, including for the purpose of visiting the grave or family members. Defence informed the Court that it did not intend to submit any further or modified request, following which the Single Judge declared the request moot. More details are available in the filings via this link.
