I move amendment No. 14:

In page 57, line 17, after "remain" to insert the following:

"and shall prohibit any publication, broadcast or dissemination of anything which could identify the complainant or, unless he or she is convicted, the accused person".

The purpose of this amendment is to make it clear that the same rules about non-publication of the identity of the parties involved, as in criminal cases, should apply to courts-martial cases.
