Cases involving opposition politician Victoire Ingabire and American lawyer Peter Erlinder will soon be reviewed.
Prosecutor General Martin Ngoga says that files of Genocide deniers like Erlinder and Ingabire and 29 suspects of grenade attacks in the country are to be handed in to the courts soon.
Mr. Ngoga said that Ingabire will be summoned in court on May 16.
Ingabire is accused of committing various crimes including genocide denial, collaborating with terror groups to distort national security and ethnic divisionism.
He said prosecution some countries, including the Netherlands and Switzerland responded to formal requests.
Rwanda had filed several legal requests to a number of European countries and the US to furnish it with evidence where Ingabire’s conducted illegal activities, particularly financing rebel outfits to cause instability in the country.
Other evidence had been gathered from Burundi and Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) while more is expected from Belgium.
Rwanda’s prosecutor- general Martin Ngoga said that prosecution is ready to re-launch charges against Erlinder.
Files of the 29 suspects of grade attacks are also being transferred to the high court for the law to take its course.
Ingabire is facing terrorism charges with the prosecution alleging that she was working with senior FDLR militiamen to form a military wing known as Coalition of Defence Forces (CDF) aimed at destabilising Rwanda.
She is also accused of promoting ethnic divisions, propagating the genocide ideology and trivialising the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi.
On the other hand, Peter Erlinder is accused of genocide denial, genocide ideology and of being a threat to national security.
