9. The Complainant filed a petition for an annulment of the separation order on 9 February 2010. The examining magistrate did not respond until seven (7) months later when he made a dismissal ruling on 27 September 2010. This decision was upheld by the Investigation Chamber. 10. The Complainant further submits that by the time the matter was referred to the trial court, on 29 July 2010, he was being prosecuted on six charges, two of which were the subject of a committal order and a partial no-case ruling. As such, the Complainant states, the examining magistrate upheld the four other charges for further investigation. For three of these charges resulting from the original indictment of 6 August 2008, the detention period had expired on 6 February 2010 and for the sixth charge brought on 18 December 2009, the detention period was due to expire on 18 June 2011. 11. Regarding one of the charges upheld for investigation, the Complainant submits that he was heard only once and that no further investigation was conducted concerning the other charges. He further states that on 17 June 2011, that is, the day before the expiry of the pre-trial detention for the last charge, he was served with a new separation order relating to the portion still under investigation and a new committal order issued on the same grounds as for the first separation orders, namely that the investigation had not been concluded. A petition was filed for the annulment of the second separation order, but the examining magistrate had not responded after a year. 12. Following the second separation order, three charges were laid before the trial court, while two others were still being investigated. On 3 May 2012, the High Court of Yaoundé, Mfoundi, acquitted the Complainant of all the three counts for which he was being prosecuted and ordered his release on 4 May 2012. 3
