The Zagreb County Court served Margetic with the injunction which he had refused to take in early August claiming that it first had to be checked if it was in line with the Constitution and laws, Margetic's attorney Veljko Miljevic told Hina today.
He recalled that Margetic had been in detention for more than a month for refusing to be served with the injunction. During his detention, he went on a hunger strike and had to be hospitalised, the attorney said.
Miljevic claims that soon after Margetic was taken into custody he informed the court that his client would take the injunction, but that their turn at the court was only last week, so the journalist was released from custody. Margetic's condition is still poor due to the hunger strike, he said.
Miljevic said that he still had not seen the latest indictment the Hague tribunal issued against Margetic, again for contempt of court, because he published the list of 102 protected witnesses in the Blaskic trial on his website.
The UN tribunal yesterday stated that despite its warning that the list of witnesses was a confidential document and subject to court orders banning its publishing, Margetic had released it on his web site, where it was from July 7 to August 2.
Attorney Miljevic believes that the deciding factor in the proceedings would be the fact that the list was classified as confidential only on August 22, much later than Margetic published it.
