Special: Salih Mustafa causes confusion, doesn't go to session after pause

For that, following some clarifications from both the defence and the prosecution, the hearings by the judge leading him have been interrupted.

The judge has said she needs consultation with the other judges outside the hearing on the issue.

His lawyer, Julius Von Bone, has indicated that it is the accused's right to choose whether or not to attend the session.

The accused may give up his presence. He is represented by a protector who represents his interests and then depends on the accused as he wants to proceed further. I understand the feelings of protecting the victims, but I can't say that this is going to be a common thing, but this is what happened today and I can't say anything about the future”, he said.

“Every time there will be documents that will be provided if the accused wants to be present, or wants to be through video binding”.

The prosecution said they didn't want to make trial in the absence of Mustaf./Periscopi/
