The Global Citizen: Bemba
The International Criminal Court (ICC) trial of Jean-Pierre Bemba Gombo was due to start on April 27, however, the ICC announced that the trial has been postponed until July 5. On April 27 the ICC will hold a status conference to discuss the admissibility challenge brought by the Defense for Bemba.
The International Criminal Court (ICC) has ordered the conditional release of Congolese ex-Vice-President Jean-Pierre Bemba ahead of his war crimes trial.
An ICC statement said a pre-trial chamber had found that Mr. Bemba's continued detention was not necessary to ensure his appearance at his trial, to ensure he did not hamper court proceedings or to prevent him "from continuing with the commission of the same or related crimes".
He is to face trial on three counts of war crimes and two of crimes against humanity.
