The High Court in Riyadh on Monday received the accusation files against individuals from the Investigation and Prosecution Bureau in the 2003 terror attacks in the Kingdom. Twelve High Court judges in the capital will examine the charges. Six judges have already been approved by the Higher Judiciary Council and the other six will be named soon. Sources say that one judge will hear cases committed by individuals and three judges will look into joint cases. The Ministries of Justice and Interior are coordinating to appoint a spokesman to brief the media on developments of the trials. Meanwhile, the Human Rights Commission, in a statement, emphasized the government's commitment to justice in the trials, considered by many to be among the most difficult due to the level of national and international interests. The statement describes procedures as reflecting a just Shariah position with the accused given every opportunity to defend themselves and full access to legal representation, in accordance with the government which derives its law from the Holy Quran and the Prophet's Sunnah. The six selected judges are: Sheikh Ali Al-Rashid, Muhammed Bin Saleh Al-Gadi, Muhammed Bin Abdullah Al-Dawseri, Ali Saleh Al-Ajeri, Saad Ali Al-Shedi and Abdul Mohsen Aal Al-Sheikh. Sheikh Suleiman Al-Mahna, Head of the High Court, has cut short his annual vacation to meet with the six judges. – Okaz __
