I just heard about it (seriously, I feel like I live in a bubble sometimes; I read some google headlines each day on my iGoogle) and after fishing around, it looks like she hasn't had a trial date yet (26 months).

I used to be somewhat active in Amnesty International back in high school - yeah, we suck. Maybe I shouldn't go to Bosnia this spring. I wondered onto Turkey terrotory in Cyprus last year (Nicosia) before I got cold feet and went back into Cyprus terrotory, thats probably the closet I've been to a war situation aside form possibly Cambodia about 2 months ago.
