{{The International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR) will deliver its verdict on December 20 in the trial of the former Minister for Planning, Augustin Ngirabatware.}}<\/p>\n
According to the Hirondelle Agency, it will be the last trial judgment of this court that the UN must file its balance sheet at 31 December 2014.<\/p>\n
The former leader is a son of Felicien Kabuga, the most famous of the nine accused still wanted by international justice for their alleged role in the genocide against Tutsis in 1994.<\/p>\n
Late July, the prosecutor had requested life imprisonment against the former minister while the defense pleaded for acquittal.<\/p>\n
Ngirabatware is essentially accused of being the main instigator of the massacres of Tutsis in his native town Nyamyumba (North) in 1994.<\/p>\n
To refute most of these accusations, he presented an alibi defense, claiming he was abroad at the time of most of the facts alleged against him.<\/p>\n
PhD in Economics from the University of Fribourg, Switzerland, Ngirabatware was a teacher at the National University of Rwanda (1986-1994), then Minister of Planning (1990-1994).<\/p>\n
During his exile from July 1994, he worked in various research institutes in Gabon and France.<\/p>\n
He was arrested in Germany on 17 September 2007 and in the hands of the ICTR since 8 October 2008. His trial, which was conspicuous by its slowness, opened on the bottom on 22 September2009.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
