|Retired Special Forces Commander Heston Russell has criticised media, government, and military officials for 'not affording the due process" of special forces personnel accused of alleged war crimes in Afghanistan seven years ago as outlined in the Brereton Report. "The lowest of the low is that you continue to stand here and accuse them of crimes that they're about to stand in an investigation and must stand in court.
" Mr Russell said military officials had lost his trust, and the trust of veterans and their families, after it was revealed the move to strip citations from more than 3,000 special forces personnel was decided more than six months before the release of the report.
