On January 26 2015 Dominic Ongwen made a pre-trial appearance at the International Criminal Court at the Hague.
Ongwen was one of the commanders of the murderous Lord's Resistance Army that terrorized people in Uganda for 20 years.
Ongwen surrendered to Seleka rebels in Central African Republic in January 2015. He was later handed over to US special forces who subsequently handed him over to the International Criminal Court.
The International Criminal Court had issued an international arrest warrant for Dominic Ongwen, along with four other commanders of the Lord's Resistance Army.
The ICC has set 24th August as the commencement date for Ongwen's trial.
