NGENZI APPEALS AGAINST THE COURT ORDER INDICTMENT

NGENZI APPEALS AGAINST THE COURT ORDER INDICTMENT

We have just heard that Ngenzi has just appealed against the court order indictment from the investigating judges.Barahira is about to do the same. A strategy to delay the procedure, most probably!

 

“according to the 186-2  penal code article, the investigation chamber must proceed to judgment within 4 months ,from the date of the  court order. If not ,there will be a statutory release for the prisoner. During these 4 months, the investigation chamber  can set out any additional information  which might be helpful” (Damien Roets, law specialist)

Yet, it is quite likely that, since NGENZI has been in pre trial detention for 4 years , the investigation chamber will decide shortly, so that to avoid any risk of letting NGENZI  free, freedom has always been refused till today.

Then, we are waiting for a decision very soon, a decision in keeping with victims and civil plaintiffs.
