Situation: Central African Republic
Case: The Prosecutor v. Jean Pierre Bemba Gombo
On 2 December, 2009, at 9:00 a.m. (local time in The Hague), the Appeals Chamber of the International Criminal Court (ICC) will deliver in open court the judgment on the appeal levied by the Prosecutor on 14 August, 2009, against the decision of the Pre-Trial Chamber II, issued on the same day, on the interim release of Jean-Pierre Bemba Gombo.
Pre-Trial Chamber II had decided to grant the request of Jean-Pierre Bemba Gombo for interim release, albeit under under conditions. The implementation of this decision was, however, deferred pending a determination in which State Jean-Pierre Bemba Gombo will be released and which set of conditions shall be imposed. On 3 September, 2009, the Appeals Chamber had granted suspensive effect to the appeal of the Prosecutor in respect of the conditional release of the accused.
