- Charges
- Initially, Chui was charged (together with Katanga) with crimes against humanity and war crimes, including sexual slavery, committed on 24 February 2003 during the attack on the village of Bogoro, in the Ituri district of the DRC. Although subsequent events resulted in withdrawal of the sexual slavery counts as evidence from two victims/witnesses of sexual violence substantiating these counts was excluded by the Court because of security concerns, a change in their security situation made it possible for the Prosecutor to reinstate the sexual slavery as a crime against humanity and a war crime counts and add charges of rape as a crime against humanity and a war crime as well as outrages upon personal dignity as a war crime on 12 June 2008 (Prosecution’s Submission, 12 June 2008). According to the amended document containing the charges, in its section elaborating on ‘sexual offences’ (Prosecution's Amended Document, 12 June 2008, para. 89): “women, who were captured at Bogoro and spared because they hid their ethnicity, were raped, sexually enslaved or humiliated. Threatened with death by the combatants, one woman was stripped and forced to parade half naked in front of them. Others were raped and forcibly taken to military camps. Once there, they were sometimes given as a ‘wife’ to their captors or kept in the camp’s prison, which was a hole dug in the ground. The women detained in these prisons were repeatedly raped by soldiers and commanders alike and also by soldiers who were punished and sent to prison. The fate reserved to captured women was widely known. Shortly after the Bogoro attack, KATANGA saw one of the imprisoned women detained in such conditions in one of the FRPI camps.” On 30 September 2008, the Chamber confirmed the charges against Chui (and Katanga) for rape and sexual slavery as crimes against humanity and war crimes under Article 25(3)(a), but declined to confirm the charge of outrages upon personal dignity as a war crime as, the Chamber held, the link to the suspect was lacking (Decision on the Confirmation of Charges, 30 September 2008). On 21 November 2012, the Court severed the charges against Katanga and Chui.
- Trial chamber verdict
- On 18 December 2012, Trial Chamber II acquitted Chui of the charges of war crimes and crimes against humanity. It was found not proven beyond a reasonable doubt that Chui was the commander of the Lendu combatants during the attack on Bogoro in Ituri, Eastern DRC on 24 February 2003, as charged by the ICC. Rather, the evidence supported the finding that he held the role of a commander in March 2003, after the February attack on Bogoro.
- Appeals chamber verdict
- On 21 December 2012, Chui was released from custody. On 27 February 2015, the Appeals Chamber confirmed, by majority, Trial Chamber II’s decision of 18 December 2012 acquitting Chui.
