The investigating chamber of the Court of Appeal of Paris has announced yesterday September 25 Decision on appeal and gentlemen Ngenzi Barahira against the order of impeachment of judges. As we hoped, the appeal was rejected. Gentlemen Ngenzi Barahira and have 5 days to lodge an appeal, but the decision just taken comforts us in the legitimacy of our struggle.

The UN ICTR , before it closed, said that high authorities, because of their influence on the population, should be made responsible for the crime of genocide. The confirmation of a life sentence for Callixte NZABONIMANA, former Minister of Youth is a consequence. http://www.hirondellenews.com/fr/tpirrwanda/228-proces-en-appel/nizeyimana-idelphonse/34854-290914-tpirnzabonimana-la-perpetuite-confirmee-pour-lex-ministre-de-la-jeunesse-callixte-nzabonimana

This is another confirmation and that is excellent (judgment just reached me).

NGENZI / BARAHIRA brought to the criminal court of justice by the investigating judges On Friday 30 May, investigating judges published a commited order about NGENZI /BARAHIRA cases. As a consequence, they will be accused of “genocide and crimes against humanity” following the conclusions of the prosecutor’s investigation. Now, we are waiting for the date of the next trial in the criminal court, the 2nd after Simbikangwa’s trial, convicted of crimes against humanity and genocide. We must point out that a partial submission has been required about “the joint arrangement in order to commit a genocide”. The civil plaintiffs have …

 Hearing of M. Phesans Bertrand, a clinical psychologist. On the last day of the second week, a new expert, Mr. Bertrand Phesans is consulted at the request of the defense of Mr. Simbikangwa, dissatisfied with that of Madame Sironi, which was heard yesterday. The psychological against expertise has not fundamentally changed the conclusions of the first : normal intellectual efficiency, no neurosis, defensive position on the edge of incoherence, affabulatrice trend. Many traits that appear during the trial. Mr. Simbikangwa trivializes the consequences of his accident in 1986. It defines an embittered character, feeling a sense of injustice, where aggression …

The former captain of the Rwandan army, Pascal Simbikangwa , known for his torturer activities well before the genocide, who participated in massacres in recent years while he was traveling in a wheelchair, will be finally judged. The …

We just received today the response from the Director of CNED, Serge Bergamelli, concerning the document in which was wrongly mentioned the “genocide of Hutus by the Tutsi.” He had previously been sent a copy of the letter we sent to the Minister of Education, Mr. Vincent Peillon. Let me transcribe the response received today by email, so that you can judge for yourself… But for me it is a response a minima, where cannot be found neither the words nor the accents that the Director of school education CNED, Mr. Frederic Artaud, had yesterday by telephone, saying he “had …

An AFP report tells us that Vénuste Nyombayire has been indicted on the complaint that the CPCR had filed against him in December 2011. Released on bail, the prosecution appealed. The new indictment can only applaud all those who are fighting for justice for the victims of the genocide against the Tutsis in Rwanda in 1994. Vénuste Nyombayire continued especially for having executed employees and young orphans of the Village SOS Gikongoro. The decision of the French court shows that the SCRC , by filing a complaint , had good reasons to do so : the judges have forged their …
