In the spring of 2012, an unarmed Afghan villager, Ali Jan, was allegedly kicked off a cliff by Ben Roberts-Smith, who then purportedly directed another soldier to execute him. That allegation was central to the landmark defamation action brought by Roberts-Smith, where the court found it to be “substantially true”. Roberts-Smith has appealed that decision and the allegations have never been proven to a standard that would be required in a criminal trial. The government has said it plans to compensate the families of victims of alleged Afghanistan war crimes, but 11 years after his murder, Ali Jan's widow says she's still awaiting justice. Today, contributor to The Saturday Paper Michelle Dimasi on what Australia owes the family of Ali Jan.

It's been labelled the "trial of the century" in Australia. Ben Roberts-Smith was the country's most decorated living soldier, a recipient of the Victoria Cross, and even named Father of the Year. But in 2018 he was accused of murdering multiple unarmed civilians while on deployment with the SAS in Afghanistan. Veteran investigative journalist Chris Masters, together with colleagues Nick McKenzie and David Wroe, broke the story in 2018. Ben Roberts-Smith sued the Sydney Morning Herald, the Age and the Canberra Times for defamation. But in June this year, after a lengthy and expensive trial, a federal court judge ruled that on the balance of probabilities, Roberts-Smith was complicit in four murders. The judgement is being celebrated as a win for investigative journalism and for the soldiers who stood up and gave evidence against their former colleague. Journalist Chris Masters has now released a book about his investigation, Flawed Hero: Truth, Lies and War Crimes. The story is not over though. Last week Ben Roberts-Smith said he will appeal the federal court decision, alleging the judge "cherry-picked" evidence in his judgement.

Earlier this month Australia's most decorated soldier Ben Roberts-Smith lost his defamation case against three newspapers who reported he had murdered civilians in Afghanistan. While not a criminal trial, the court judged him responsible for the deaths of four Afghans while deployed during 2009-2012. Investigative journalist Nick McKenzie brought the allegations to the public eye and has spent five years working on the story.

*) Kosovo accuses Serbia of kidnapping its border police officers Tensions are rising again between Kosovo and Serbia, after Belgrade arrested three Kosovo police officers, a move Pristina described as kidnapping. In retaliation, Kosovo has banned Serbian vehicles from crossing the border. Wednesday's flare-up between the two Balkan countries follows weeks of tensions, after rioting in northern Kosovo saw 30 NATO peacekeepers wounded in late May. Kosovo's Prime Minister Albin Kurti blamed Serbia for the latest incident, saying the move was likely in "revenge" for the arrest of an alleged Serb paramilitary leader in Kosovo on Tuesday. *) Biden urged to press Modi over freedom of Kashmiri, other journalists The New York-based Committee to Protect Journalists has called on the US government to put pressure on India to end a media crackdown and release six detained journalists, including four from India-administered Kashmir. CPJ president Jodie Ginsberg issued the statement ahead of a state visit to Washington next week by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. She said there had been an increasing crackdown on India's media since Modi came to power in 2014, highlighting the detention of six Indian journalists, who were covering the impact of the country's security laws. As the world's largest democracy, India needs to live up to that by ensuring a free and independent media, Ginsberg said. *) Paramilitary group RSF accused of killing Sudan's West Darfur governor Sudan's military has accused the paramilitary group, Rapid Support Forces (RSF), of carrying out the killing of West Darfur Governor Khamis Abbakar in the city of El Geneina. The army said Abakar's killing on Wednesday meant the RSF has added what it describes as "a new chapter to its record of barbaric crimes” committed against Sudanese people. An adviser in the RSF did not deny or confirm Abbakar's killing. In a television interview shortly before his death, Abbakar had called for international intervention in what he described as a "genocide" in Sudan. *) Australia veteran accused of killing Afghan civilians refuses to apologise Australia's most decorated war veteran, found by a civil court to have played a part in the murder of Afghan civilians during Afghanistan's invasion, has refused to apologise for his actions. Ben Roberts-Smith said he remained proud of his actions in Afghanistan, where he served in the Special Air Service on six tours from 2006 to 2012. Roberts-Smith has been accused of violating the rules of engagement and involvement in the murder of at least six unarmed prisoners in Afghanistan. In one incident, Roberts-Smith allegedly kicked a handcuffed Afghan civilian off a cliff and ordered two subordinates to shoot the man dead. *) German curator on a mission to return heirlooms stolen from Jews by Nazis Matthias Weniger, a curator at the Munich Museum in Germany is on a mission to return as many heirlooms as possible that were stolen by the Nazi forces from Jewish families during World War II. Many owners were murdered in the Holocaust or, if they succeeded to flee from the Nazis, ended up in far-flung corners of the globe. Despite these odds, and with a combination of thorough detective work and deep knowledge of history, Weniger has so far managed to return about 50 objects to family members and relatives of the original owners. Surviving family members say they are happy to have the heirlooms back, despite the pain triggered by the loss of their relatives.

Australia's most decorated living soldier has lost his defamation case against the Sydney Morning Herald, the Age and the Canberra Times. A federal court judge has found that the newspapers proved in their defence that Ben Roberts-Smith murdered unarmed prisoners while serving in the Australian military in Afghanistan.Ben Doherty examines Justice Anthony Besanko's full verdict which describes how Australia's most decorated soldier lied to save his reputation How to listen to podcasts: everything you need to know
A former New Zealand solider who gave key evidence in a trial centred around a now disgraced former Australian SAS soldier has been deemed an unreliable and dishonest witness, by the trial judge. Ben Roberts-Smith, who won the Victoria Cross for his actions in Afghanistan, had sued Australian newspapers who'd accused him of war crimes, including the murder of prisoners. But the court dismissed the defamation action against the newspaper and journalists, finding the allegations to be "substantially true". The evidence of "person 35" who was in the NZ SAS before serving for Australia - was discredited in the detailed judgement. One of the investigative journalists who revealed Roberts-Smith's war crimes and who was subject to the defamation action, Nick McKenzie from the Melbourne Age, talks to Lisa Owen.
Last week justice Anthony Besanko found in favour of three newspapers when he decided that claims they made about former SAS soldier Ben Roberts-Smith being a war criminal, were mostly true. So now that a judge in a civil trial has found that to be true, could this lead to a criminal conviction too? Today we look at the case that has brought the Victoria Cross medal winner undone and what that means for him and others in the SAS who have been accused of the same.
