The Hague, December 18, 2012 (FH) \u2013 Judges of the International Criminal Court on Tuesday afternoon rejected a prosecution request to keep Mathieu Ngudjolo in custody pending appeal against his acquittal. The Court earlier acquitted Ngudjolo of all charges in connection with an attack in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo in 2003.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Presiding judge Bruno Cotte said the Court was not persuaded of any \u201cexceptional circumstances\u201d which would justify Ngudjolo\u2019s continued detention, and that \u201cthe office of the Prosecutor has not shown that such circumstances exist\u201d.\u00a0 Immediately after pronouncing Ngudjolo\u2019s acquittal on Tuesday morning, judges asked prosecutors to say if they were requesting a suspension of the release order. A few hours later, the Chamber held a new session but the prosecution appeared disconcerted. Expected to argue exceptional circumstances that would justify keeping Ngudjolo in custody, Canadian prosecutor Eric McDonald instead started by challenging the judgment. McDonald then argued that if he were freed, Ngudjolo could disappear or intimidate witnesses. At the end of the afternoon, Ngudjolo left the Court and returned to prison. His lawyers, Jean-Piertre Fof\u00e9 and Jean-Pierre Kilenda said they did not yet know where their client would go once released. His family live in Bunia, in eastern DRC.
