Thaci defence calls for extending deadline for detention review

The request in question, Thaci's defence has argued that they are collecting documents that will support their request for home arrest.

They even say that the material in question intended to meet will be very important for the Preemptive Judge in making the decision to reconsider the detention.

There is a good reason for the duration required. In light of the findings of the Appeals Chamber, defence requires further time to collect documents in support of Mr. Thaci, especially in terms of home arrest feasibility. Such material would help judge of the preliminary procedure in considering Mr. Thaci”, said in the presence of Keohe attorney.

And to consider the requirements in question, according to the law, Thaci must relinquish the right to review the detention every two months, which is the fundamental basis for the functioning of the Tribunal.

Keohe at the final presumption point has confirmed that Thaci has done so, in that form, to delay the deadline for sending forwards.

“Taking into account of the required extension requires lifting Mr. Thaci for revising detention on two-month basis, in line with Article 4110) of Law No. 05 L-053 for Specialised Chambers and Specialised Prosecutors and Rule 57K2, Defense confirms that, in an extraordinary way, Mr. Thaci relinquishes the right to review the” detention, Keohe has confirmed.

The prosecution's initial deadline for sending pre-cards for revising the detention was November 8th, while the defence requirement is to postpone the same by 16 November.
