Baha Mousa inquiry publishes first witness list
The Baha Mousa Inquiry will resume its opening statements at 10am on Monday 21 September 2009. On that day, legal teams for most of the Core Participants will deliver their opening addresses, each speaking for approximately 20 minutes.
Module 1 – the history of conditioning techniques – will follow. Module 1 evidence is likely to be brief and is anticipated to conclude on Tuesday 22 September.
The Inquiry will then begin hearing oral evidence from witnesses in relation to Module 2. This Module relates to Baha Mousa and the other detainees and is likely to last at least until Christmas. The Module will examine the circumstances surrounding their arrest, detention and subsequent questioning, and seek to ascertain what happened to them and who was involved from the 14 to16 September 2003.
The Inquiry intends to call its first witness to give oral evidence on Wednesday 23 September. Today, it publishes its first provisional witness list which is attached to this press notice. The list, which will be updated on a weekly basis and published on the Inquiry’s website, contains details of those witnesses who will be called to give evidence over the subsequent fortnight’s hearings. The first witnesses will be those detained with Baha Mousa in 2003. Some of these former detainees have been granted anonymity and shall only be referred to by ciphers D001 to D007. Colonel Daoud Mousa, Baha Mousa’s father, is timetabled to give evidence after the final detainee. The Inquiry will then begin calling military and ex-military witnesses.
