The Department of Defense invites media to cover pre-trial proceedings to be held April 15-19 for Encep Nurjaman, who has been charged in connection with his alleged role in the 2002 and 2003 bombings in Indonesia.
The proceedings will take place at the Expeditionary Legal Complex located in Naval Station Guantanamo Bay (NSGB) Cuba and will be transmitted to select closed circuit television sites.
Media may choose to travel to NSGB if agreeable to coverage window outlined below and willing to pay flight fees associated ($800); coverage windows are determined by flights, which are Saturday to Saturday. Specific ground rules for coverage at NSGB will follow registration.
