EXCLU,
Jan 26 – The family of an
American contractor who died
in his native Kansas after
release from kidnappers in
Iraq has sued HSBC and other
banks - but nearly all of the
case is sealed.
On January
26, 2024 a conference in the
case was held. The discussion
was about an anonymous Doe
witness about information in
the National Iranian Oil
Company.
He cannot
be questioned about any of the
details of his work or where
he got the information, for
fear of retaliation from Iran.
His testimony - sealed? - will
be by Zoom, with him sworn in
by name before the Court, then
again without name before
others.
Even the
complaint in the case is
sealed, as of January 27.
Inner City Press, which has
repeatedly asked the UN about
its solicitude toward Iran,
will continue to cover the
case
