The trial was scheduled to take place virtually on Thursday 9th December 2021. <\/p>\n

The court\u2019s registrar has told IGIHE that the trial has been postponed to 6th January 2022 because assigned judges have left for training. <\/p>\n

Munyenyezi had filed a request to be tried in-person which was expected to be reviewed today. <\/p>\n

She is facing seven charges linked to her role in Genocide and crimes against humanity.<\/p>\n

These include manslaughter as Genocide crime, preparation of Genocide, direct or indirect mobilization to perpetrate Genocide, conspiracy during Genocide, extermination as a crime against humanity and conspiracy to commit rape.<\/p>\n

Munyenyezi was deported to Rwanda from the United States on 16th April 2021 and appeared before court towards the end of same month. <\/p>\n

Her trial is postponed shortly after rejecting two defense lawyers including Gatera Gashabana and Pierre C\u00e9lestin Buhuru. <\/p>\n

IGIHE has learnt that lawyer Bruce Bikotwa is the current lead defense lawyer of Munyenyezi. <\/p>\n
