Australian Soldier Loses Afghan War Crimes Defamation Suit
An Australian court has dismissed a defamation lawsuit brought by a decorated soldier against media organizations and journalists regarding their reporting on alleged war crimes in Afghanistan.
The court's decision came after it found that the media outlets had substantiated several key allegations of war crimes, including the involvement of Ben Roberts-Smith in the unlawful killing of unarmed Afghan civilians.
Roberts-Smith also faces accusations of domestic violence and bullying towards a fellow soldier. However, his criminal record has remained clean thus far.
