Ben Roberts-Smith war crimes case identities sealed
Published 3 weeks, 3 days ago
Description
Ben Roberts-Smith, Australia's most decorated soldier, faces war crimes charges for the murders of five unarmed men in Afghanistan over a decade ago. A Sydney court has declared the identities of 700 people involved in the legal proceedings top secret, with each given a pseudonym. Most are believed to be serving or former Special Forces soldiers, while Roberts-Smith's lawyers argue for non-sensitive names to be unredacted.
