目前没有保护证人或举报人的立法或机制。据报告,根据 2009 年《证据法》, 原则上可以采信通过视频链接取得的证词,但没有关于这一问题的具体规定。 《起诉政策》第 25 段规定检察官对受害人负有义务,包括让受害人随时了解诉讼的各个阶段并考虑受害人的意见。
There is presently no legislation or mechanism for the protection of witnesses or reporting persons. It was reported that, in principle, testimony taken via video link would be admissible under the Evidence Act 2009, although there are no specific provisions that address the issue. Paragraph 25 of the Prosecution Policy sets forth the obligations of the prosecutor with respect to the victim, including keeping informed at all stages of the proceedings and taking into account their views.
