''R v Incedal and Rarmoul-Bouhadjar'' (2014), formerly known as ''R v AB and CD'', is a criminal case brought in the United Kingdom against two people suspected of terrorism offences. It was proposed to make it the first criminal trial in British legal history to be held entirely in secret, but the Court of Appeal of England and Wales ruled in June 2014 that some details of the trial should be made public. ==Background== The existence of the prosecutions became public on 4 June 2014, as the result of an attempt by ''The Guardian''〔(Court of Appeal decision on trial secrecy )〕 at the Court of Appeal of England and Wales to overturn a ban on publicly identifying the defendants, which had been issued the month before. The style of cause for the daylight order is ''Guardian News and Media Ltd v AB and CD''.〔 At the earlier closed hearing, Mr Justice Nicol had granted the Crown an order that the trial "should take place entirely in private with the identity of both defendants withheld" and with "a permanent prohibition on reporting what takes place during the trial and their identities". The Crown Prosecution Service had argued that they would be deterred from bringing the prosecution without an order for secrecy. The basis for this argument was not made public.〔 On 12 June 2014, Lord Justice Peter Gross, Mr Justice Simon and Mr Justice Burnett issued a ruling overturning the order with respect to the anonymity of the defendants and limiting the degree to which the trial could be heard in private. The ruling stated: The "core of the trial" will remain secret, but the identities of the defendants and the outcome of the trial were ordered to be made public, as well as some details of opening remarks by the judge and prosecution. The court trying the case will have discretion to admit journalists to some parts of the trial, but will retain their notes until the end of the trial, when the court will review what content should or should not be allowed to be made public.〔〔Nick Cohen, (Secret justice will lead to paranoia – and it's not very British ), ''The Observer'', 14 June 2014〕 The Crown Prosecution Service indicated that it did not intend to make any further appeal, and that the trial would go ahead. The trial was due to begin in London on 16 June 2014, but was re-scheduled for October 2014.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「R v Incedal」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
