A former British soldier facing contempt of court proceedings for failing to turn up at the Bloody Sunday Tribunal has said he will only give evidence if he is screened from the public.
The unnamed soldier, identified only as Soldier L, failed to turn up at the Saville Inquiry yesterday, despite being warned that he would face "serious consequences" if he did not appear.
The tribunal subsequently began High Court proceedings that could see the soldier being jailed for contempt.
