OCTOBER 16, 2012   Kigali, 16 October 2012 On 15 October 2012, the KARONGI Intermediate Court has refused the bail appeal of 8 members of FDU-Inkingi arrested in Rutsiro District on politically motivated charges after they attended a meeting with the party interim secretary General Sylvain Sibomana, himself now under a red notice as a most wanted offender. Political prisoner Victoire Ingabire Umuhoza, European Union 2012 Sakharov prize for freedom of thought nominee, has completed her second anniversary in maximum prison. The Karongi ruling to keep in prison 8 FDU-Inkingi opposition members Mutuyimana Anselme, Uwiringiyimana venuste, Ufitamahoro Norbert, Dukundane Moise, Twizerimana Valens, Nahimana Marcel, Byukusenge Emmanuel and Gasengayire Leonille just for attending a meeting has brought to the edge the internal opposition. All in all, the hopes for any meaningful opening of the political space under the current dictatorship have definitely waned. Manhunt is underway for others as the National Public Prosecution Authority has intensified plans to capture Mr. Sylvain SIBOMANA, the interim Secretary General, TUGANIMANA Christian (Rutsiro District), Jean Claude Alias MINISTRE (Rutsiro District) and NYAMINANI (Rutsiro District) for criticising governmental policy. In his submission on 24 September 2012, the prosecution explained what he called very strong grounds of his case as follows: "MUTUYIMANA Anselme, UFITAMAHORO Norbert, BYUKUSENGE Emmanuel, GASENGAYIRE Leonille, TWIZERIMANA Valens, NAHIMANA Marcel, UWIRINGIYIMANA Venuste, DUKUNDANE Moise during police and prosecutor's interviews accepted that they attended the FDU INKINGI meeting, knowing that it is not a registered party.During the meeting they heard negative critics against the governmental policy relating to inadequacy of education, stating that it is poorly orientated because so many people remain jobless after school training, that the training is poor. They were told that contributions to the health fund plan, are not used properly, and instead used for security purposes, supporting reserve force personnel. Regarding development, the meeting chair informed that there are more investments in Kigali city while rural areas are neglected, giving examples of modern buildings in Kigali capital city while the road KARONGI-RUBAVU in not constructed. Regarding public salaries, he criticised the government that there are higher inequalities between public sector employees, sharing the same markets, he said that Agaciro Development fund was in the beginning said to be based a voluntary contribution but it turned out to be now obligatory. And after hearing all those dangerous thoughts, they went home and did not report to authorities (quotes 5-8. 9-13, 14-17, 18-20, 21-23, 24-26, 27-30, 37-41,in the police), (quotes 50-51, 52-53, 54-56, 63-65, 67-68, 69-71, 74, 75-76, 77-78, 81 in prosecution interviews)". "Pursuant to article 94 §1,2,3 and article 95 of the Criminal procedure code (CPP), the prosecution requested a preventive detention until the evidential stage of the case alleging that being at liberty they can destroy or compromise evidence whereas there are fears for high risk of justice flight like some of their accomplices most wanted but still at large, while charged with dangerous crimes that could be a threat to the law and order in the population while continuing to disseminate that toxic seeds among Rwandans", concluded the prosecutor.   This week, two verdicts are expected in the case of political prisoner Victoire Ingabire Umuhoza: on 18 October 2012, 11:00 the Supreme Court ruling on the constitutional review of genocide ideology law while the High court's verdict on all charges is expected on 19 October 2012, 11:00. We are on our own, in our own land, if necessary we will march until freedom is won. If not what kind of opposition is possible in Rwanda under President Paul Kagame ?     FDU-Inkingi Boniface Twagirimana Interim Vice president

http://www.inyenyerinews.org/afrika/the-untold-stories-tharcisse-karugarama-misleading-the-rwandan-people-and-the-international-community-on-amnesty-international-report/ Tharcisse KARUGARAMA Misleading the Rwandan People and the International Community on Amnesty International Report. October 15, 2012 By Rwema IT Webmaster 5 Comments The Rwandan Justice Minister Tharcisse KARUGARAMA has been heard this morning on the Voice of America defending the abominable act of Torture which is prohibited in the Rwandan Constitution and International law. Article 15 of the Rwandan Constitution is clear on this issue: No one shall be subjected to Torture, Physical abuse or cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment. Similarly Article 3 of the European Court of Human Rights prohibits torture and "inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment". There are no exceptions or limitations on this right. This European Court of Human Rights provision goes further and applies, apart from torture, to cases of severe police violence and poor conditions in detention. The European Court of Human Rights has also held that this provision prohibits the extradition of a person to a foreign state if they are likely to be subjected to torture. This article has been interpreted as prohibiting a state from extraditing an individual to another state if they are likely to suffer the death penalty Interestingly Hon. Tharcisse who is a qualified lawyer a custodian of Rwandan justice has admitted that his army officials in what the former RDF spokesperson Jill Rutaremara baptized as special circumstances (Ubushishozi) could allow impunity to reign un checked. Torture under international law is characterized as Jus Cogens a crime that cannot be derogated by any state regardless of whether a country ratified the torture protocol as Minister Karugarama tries to convince some of the listeners of these international media. It is therefore immaterial whether a country ratified it or not, any country or person in the position of a government official who tortures or abets, aids torture will be held accountable individually or collectively. The legacy of Nurnberg should be a good example to the Hon Minister of Justice that you can delay justice but you cannot prevent it; those who are in power today oppressing every human soul will one day be paid in the same currency. Justice Robert Jackson who led the Nuremberg Tribunals noted that Justice is a statement to the triumph of the rule of law in the struggle against tyranny and oppression. The precedent set by the Nuremberg tribunal under Justice Robert Jackson is a watershed moment for all those people who are in power today especially in our country Rwanda that there is no sanctuary for the leaders who misuse power. The legal concept emerging from Nuremberg Tribunal include that, crimes are committed by individuals, not abstract entities, and therefore individuals must be held accountable to deter future crimes, that no one is above the law, and therefore no head of state or military leader can hide behind their title to commit abuses ; that crimes are so grave as to affect and endanger all of humankind, and there it is in the interests of all countries to ensure that those responsible are punished and whether in peace or conflict , a trial based upon internationally recognized principles of fairness will be recognized. The Minister of Justice is really indifferent by telling the listeners of BBC on the Kinyarwanda programm that the aggrieved parties (the families of the tortured people or the people who have disappeared as reported by Amnesty international should invoke Habeas Corpus to his judges so that they can force the executive to produce those people mentioned in the Amnesty International report to appear in court. For the readers of this article Habeas Corpus is the court order that directs the government officials to produce a person in court. However, we all know how Rwandan courts operate, if we ask the Minister on what happened to the families of people like Major. Alex Ruzinda or Col. Augustin Kizza respectively who were kidnapped by the Rwandan security agencies and have never been seen to this very day. Unfortunately we know all these security officers, for example the person who picked Maj. Alex Ruzindana is Butera who was a Capt. at the time of kidnapping Maj. Alex, he is now a Maj. in RDF. The wife of Maj Alex, Console and the whole family appealed to the government but instead were intimidated , the same happened to the family of Col. Kizza, just to mention a few. Does the Minister think that all what has happened to all these people has been forgotten? Has the Minister informed the public who are these security agencies who tortured these innocent civilians? When and where they were prosecuted? The Minister should be aware as a lawyer that he will not only be asked what he did but also what he didn't do to save the human life. People are dying on almost daily basis on his watch, the Rwandan courts which he leads are failing the expectations of many Rwandans, and they acquit a person not because he/she is innocent or guilty but because Kagame and his system want the person to be out or in prison. This is what you will one day be answerable Hon. Minister. Jacquline Umurungi Bruessles.
