KUALA LUMPUR, March 29 — The US military court has fixed new hearing dates for two Malaysians suspected of terrorism activities that are currently held in the Guantanamo Bay detention camp in Cuba, 20 months after their initial objections on the quality of their Malay translators., Brian Bouffard, the lead counsel for one of the two suspects Mohammed Nazir Lep said a two-week hearing has been set to start on April 24.
“One of them is a former attorney-client privileged linguist which raises a conflict of interest, another is a former confidential interpreter for all three, and the other is the one who had stated she wished the three had been murdered in custody as the government is wasting all this time and money by trying them,” Brian told the news portal in an email response.
The lawyer said that his team would be addressing the interpreter issues that had been lingering without resolution for nearly 20 months, the continuing delay of the case, and the government’s failure to disclose evidence. “He does not want any further delay and wants a fair trial, with all the relevant evidence, as soon as possible. He has been consistent in this position ever since he was captured 20 years ago,” he told FMT.
