MS. VICTOIRE INGABIRE APPEAL BAIL HEARING POSTPONED. TODAY IS HER 19TH DAY IN DETENTION

(01.11.10)

Monday 01, November 2010

The Kigali High Court has just postponed the appeal bail hearing to next Monday. The Court ordered the defence to reveal to the public the identity of the international defence counsel of the FDU INKINGI Chair, Mrs. Victoire INGABIRE UMUHOZA.

We continue to witness worrying developments in this trial. For instance past or current house staff and many members of the party are still under pressure to testify against the party leader. The content of their testimonies is still in the making: grenades attacks, terrorist meetings at home, etc, ... 

In the meantime, reliable information confirm that the government is dispatching a strong propaganda mission in Europe and America in order to justify the incarceration of opposition leaders for terrorist acts, genocide ideology, divisionism and other politically motivated charges.

This shows that the government of Paul KAGAME already knows the outcome of the trial because it is preparing the opinion for a long prison term for Mrs. Victoire INGABIRE. To the RPF government this court process is just a show, a parody. The majority of government agents, members of parliament, members of the judiciary, judges are still proud members of the ruling party or have sworn allegiance to the political body until their last breath. A very ironic situation for the independence of justice while the staff is likely politicised.
