Witnesses and experts who give testimony enjoy effective legal protection against retaliation and intimidation. Witnesses do not have to be physically present in the courtroom, but can attend the hearings through videoconference (chapter 5,section 10, CJP). The police can also take measures to protect the identity and whereabouts of witnesses, such as giving them new identities and fictitious personal data.Section 2 of the Police Act authorizes the police to carry out personal security operations to ensure effective legal protection from physical retaliation for witnesses and other persons under threat. The Ordinance (2006:519) on special personal safety programmes may also cover victims (“injured parties”) insofar as they are witnesses.
