So there was a mixed-up. It read as a general court martial but ended being refered to as an investigation ccommittee, so there was a problem of wording and harmonisation. Seconmdly they said there was a conflict of interest. One member of the general coiurt martial is doubling as an investigator.<\/p>\n<p>The defense team also demanded, according to Lul, that the committee be formed by President Salva Kiir and not the Chief of Defense Forces.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe session was postponed for further consultations, and the court will convene as soon as the consultations are over,&#8221; Lul added.<\/p>\n<p>The general court-martial comprises Maj.
