ICC rejects William Ruto’s request for fragmented hearings ************************ Trial Chamber V (a) of the International Criminal Court Thursday rejected Deputy President William Ruto’s request to have two- week breaks between hearings. The court will thus sit on a daily basis from September 10 to October 4 “The Chamber stressed the significance of advancing as much as possible in the case of Mr Ruto and Mr Sang, before constraints related to other cases affect the schedule, noting that there may be a need to modify the sitting schedule in the present case once the trial in the Kenyatta case commences,” said presiding Judge CJile Eboe-Osuji. The chamber also directed the Prosecution to liaise with the Victims and Witnesses Unit in order to manage the testimonies of the first batch of witnesses.
