An ICC prosecution official got a serious telling off from Judge Adrian Fulford, the presiding judge in the Thomas Lubanga trial, for an interview she gave to the lubangatrial.org website in March.
Read about it here.
It really is an extraordinary interview. Read it here. Beatrice le Frapper du Hellen, a senior ICC official who some describe as the real deputy prosecutor at the ICC, lays into Lubanga and the defence team - speculating about how long he'll go down for when he is inevitably found guilty. So much for the presumption of innocence.
This probably isn't great news for journalists looking for future interviews. The ICC is already the least media friendly international institution I've ever come across with a suspicion of journalists that borders on the paranoid.
What will they be like now?
