On December 6th, the Supreme Court acquitted Diane Nshimiyimana Rwigara and Adeline Mukangemanyi for the charges against them including making and using fake documents, plotting to incite public riots as well as discrimination and divisionism.<\/p>\n
At that time, the judge ruled that there was no clear evidence on the Prosecution side, and decided that in all cases, “the prosecution\u2019s accusations have no basis.” He further stated that \u201cthe aforesaid is not guilty.\u201d<\/p>\n
He further stated: “We hope the Supreme Court will accept our request for a decision.”
\nThe prosecution immediately announced that “as usual they respect court decisions.”<\/p>\n
In a statement posted on Twitter, it continued: “We are going to read carefully and analyze the Court’s decision in the case of the Prosecution and Diane Rwigara and her fellows, and decide what to do in accordance with the law.”<\/p>\n
In an interview with journalists on Wednesday, Prosecutor General Jean Bosco Mutangana said the prosecution will appeal the court\u2019s decision to release Diane Rwigara and her mother.<\/p>\n
“We are not pleased with the judgment. We will appeal the decision. After repeating the trial, the Prosecution decided to file a case in the Court of Appeal,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
He said they think the evidence given by the Prosecution was sufficient because Diane Rwigara and her mother were accused of serious crimes.<\/p>\n
He further stated: “We hope that if the Court of Appeal accepts our request, they will make a decision.”<\/p>\n
