Rwanda: Supreme Court upholds genocide law

http://www.rnanews.com/national/6561-supreme-court-upholds-genocide-law Supreme Court upholds genocide law Thursday, 18 October 2012 17:14 by Paul Clarke Victoire Ingabire, accused of financing terrorism and denying the 1994 genocide, left the Supreme Court on Thursday after a panel of nine judges upheld the country's genocide ideology law. Kigali: Rwanda's Supreme Court upheld the country's genocide ideology law Thursday, after jailed opposition leader, Victoire Umuhoza Ingabire, who stands accused of genocide ideology, challenged its legality. Arrested in 2010 and accused of financing terrorism and denying the 1994 genocide, Ingabire, who heads the yet to be registered FDU-Inkingi party, filed the legal challenge in March.  "The court finds no contradiction between the genocide ideology law and the constitution. It is true the constitution grants freedom of expression and speech but the genocide ideology law puts limitations to avoid violations of the freedoms," the nine-man panel of judges said in its ruling. The genocide denial charges against Ingabire were triggered by remarks in January 2010 at Gisozi Genocide Memorial in Kigali. Ingabire appeared in a courtroom packed with supporters from her party. "I do not agree with the decision of the court," Ingabire said, as she was escorted out of the court house in handcuffs into a waiting van. Ingabire petitioned the Supreme Court to repeal articles four and nine of the law against genocide ideology saying they contradict articles 33 and 34 of the constitution that guarantees freedom of expression. With the law upheld, the High Court is expected to announce the verdict of her trial on Friday. She is officially charged with "financial support to a terrorist group, planning state insecurity and divisionism." Prosecutors have called for her to be given a life sentence. Supporters of Ingabire said she will boycott the ruling, as she has done since April, after the court cut short a witness who accused authorities of rigging evidence against her. The half-hour ruling cited three international court cases which found the accused in those cases guilty of hate crimes despite using freedom of expression as a legal defense. "These laws are set on stopping critical voices in Rwanda," said Boniface Twagirimana, vice-president of FDU-Inkingi. "The justice here is used in the interests of the government," said Sibomana Sylvain, secretary general of FDU-Inkingi, outside of court. "When you try to express yourself like an opposition party, they say you are an enemy of the country. That is not true. We only try to express ourselves as different ideas than the government," he said. Eight other opposition leaders are currently in jail, said Sylvain, including Bernard Ntaganda, president of the PS-Imberakuri party, who was sentenced to four years imprisonment in 2011 for holding public speeches criticizing government policies ahead of the 2010 presidential election.

Government Chief Whip Andrew Mitchell authorised the payment in his last day in his previous job of international development secretary in September. Labour MP Kevin Brennan said he was "concerned" about reports from Congo. The PM said he would hold "firm" talks with Rwandan President Paul Kagame. His regime has been praised for improving the economic and social conditions in the east African country, in which it is estimated more than 800,000 people were killed in ethnic violence during 1994. But Mr Kagame, in power since 2000, has come under fierce criticism recently for allegedly funding the M23 rebel group in the east of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). A leaked United Nations document says Rwanda's defence minister is effectively commanding the rebellion. The violence has drawn international condemnation and the US and some European countries have withheld aid from the Kagame regime. 'Success story' In July, Mr Mitchell blocked the UK's £27m annual contribution to the Rwandan government after he visited the Kivus region of the DRC. However, he decided last month to unfreeze the aid, citing progress at international talks, meaning a £16m tranche of the £37m was paid. Mr Mitchell's successor in the international development role, Justine Greening, will decide in December whether to free up the remaining £21m. During Prime Minister's Questions in the House of Commons, Mr Brennan said: "We remain very concerned by the continuing reports of Rwandan support for the M23 rebels, who are killing, maiming and raping in east Congo. "So why, then, did the government's chief whip authorise the payment of £16m of British taxpayers' money to Rwanda as his parting shot in his very last day as international development secretary?" Mr Cameron replied: "I'm clear Rwanda has been, and continues to be, a success story of a country that has moved from genocide and disaster to become a role model for development and lifting people out of poverty in Africa. "And I'm proud of the fact that the last government and this government have continued to invest in that success. "But I'm equally clear that we should be very frank and very firm with President Kagame and the Rwandan regime that we do not accept that they should be supporting militias in Congo or elsewhere. "I will raise this issue presently with the president, but I continue to believe that investing in Rwanda's success as one of those countries in Africa that's showing you can break the cycle of poverty, you can improve conditions for people, is something that we are right to do." The rebellion started in April, when a militia that had been absorbed into the Congolese army mutinied and went on the rampage. Since then nearly half a million people have been displaced by fighting between the M23 and the army. Mr Cameron visited Rwanda in 2007 to learn about development issues. He was criticised for doing so at a time when parts of his constituency of Witney, in Oxfordshire, was experiencing flooding.
