Case: The Prosecutor v. Germain Katanga and Mathieu Ngudjolo Chui
Today, 2 December, 2009, Trial Chamber II decided to postpone the hearings in the case The Prosecutor v. Germain Katanga and Mathieu Ngudjolo Chui due to a traffic accident which precludes Judge Christine Van den Wyngaert from attending the hearings prior to the Court winter recess (from 12 December, 2009 to 4 January, 2010). The trial will resume, as scheduled, on 26 January, 2010.
Germain Katanga and Mathieu Ngudjolo Chui, Congolese nationals, are charged with three crimes against humanity and seven war crimes allegedly committed in the context of an armed conflict in Ituri which began in Djugu territory and in the town of Mongbwalu, and in particular during the joint attack by combatants led by Mathieu Ngudjolo Chui and Germain Katanga on Bogoro village on 24 February, 2003, which was part of a widespread attack and was directed not only against a military camp located in that village, but also against the civilian population of the village.
