The Special Continues Prisoning Salih Mustaf

According to her, judges found there is still danger that the accused would prevent the progress of the DHSK process through intervention in victims and witnesses.

The law envisions judges reevaluating every two months if there are still reasons for keeping the accused in custody. These may be the danger of escape, the risk of obstructing criminal proceedings, or the danger of committing the same criminal act or another criminal act”, she has said.
