Media coverage of trials findings
The legal study discussed the importance of the publicity of trials and the impact of media coverage on achieving justice, focusing on the legal systems of Saudi Arabia and Sudan. It affirmed that the principle of trial transparency, rooted in Islamic law and international charters, aims to enable public oversight, promote justice, and increase society's trust in the judiciary. However, the study warned of the risks associated with excessive media coverage, such as influencing the accused, shaping incorrect public opinion, and revealing state or defendant secrets—especially given that there are non-precise, informal exceptions. It recommended establishing professional and legal regulations aligned with the stages of the case to ensure a balance between the public’s right to know and the rights of the accused. It also emphasized the importance of collaboration between the media and the judiciary to ensure transparent and balanced justice.
