ZAGREB/THE HAGUE, Nov 17 (Hina) - Defence counsel for four accused
in the Kupreskic case have filed a joint motion for "temporary set
at liberty" in accordance with Rule 65 of the Rules of Procedure and
Evidence, the International Criminal Tribunal for former
Yugoslavia in The Hague said in a statement on Monday.
Defence attorney Ranko Radovic filed the motion for the provisional
release of Mirjan and Zoran Kupreskic, defence attorney Luka Susak
filed for Dragan Josipovic, and the third member of the defence
team, Petar Puliselic, filed for Dragan Papic.
Counsel for the accused requested their provisional release on the
grounds that they were "family people and this motion would
mitigate their position, both for them and for their families," the
statement said.
The accused said they were willing to "give statements" assuring
that, while provisionally released from the tribunal's custody,
they would not endanger victims and witnesses.
The defence also requested the tribunal to set bail in the event of
provisional release.
