{Dr. Leon Mugesera has asked the court to postpone the hearing of witnesses, so that he can collect all the information about the witnesses involved in his case.}
During a Session of November 11, 2013, the prosecution explained that Mugesera does not know what he wants so there is no reason to order the court to give instructions to all the courts of the country to give all the information they hold on Mugesera.
According to the court, the crimes that Mugesera is accused are clear.
Léon Mugesera was charged with genocide planning, incitement and distribution of arms among others
During the Session, the prosecution decided to continue with the hearing of the witnesses as it was scheduled.
When the Court ordered the first witness to testify, Mugesera said he is not ready to question him saying that the witness who was on the schedule was not the one who came in during the session.
The judge explained that the witness who was on the program was not present because of his own reason.
The present witness testified that Mugesera during his Kabaya speech, stated that “the Tutsi came from Ethiopia that they must return home (Ethiopia) via the river Nyabarongo.”
After this speech, four people who were in the meeting where he made this incendiary speech were killed.
