Moreover, the Working Group is particularly concerned about the fact that Mr. Mahloof actually did not receive a public trial, as on 18 July 2016 he was summoned to a closed hearing and summarily convicted. As the Human Rights Committee stated in its general comment No. 32: “Article 14, paragraph 1, acknowledges that courts have the power to exclude all or part of the public for reasons of morals, public order (ordre public) or national security in a democratic society, or when the interest of the private lives of the parties so requires, or to the extent strictly necessary in the opinion of the court in special circumstances where publicity would be prejudicial to the interests of justice. Apart from such exceptional circumstances, a hearing must be open to the general public, including members of the media, and must not, for instance, be limited to a particular category of persons.”
