Duch's Initial Hearing Scheduled

The Trial Chamber has scheduled the Initial Hearing of Kaing Guek Iev ("DUCH")'s case for 17 February, 2009. It is important to note that this is a procedural hearing and not the substantive (which will come later) hearing many might be looking to attend. It is not clear whether the hearing will be open to the public in case those interested in the details of the relevant procedural matters may wish to attend.
