{{Genocide suspect Leon Mugesera has today told court that he was unable to continue with proceedings saying he was sick.}}<\/p>\n
Court had today ready to re-play the original voice recording of his 1992 speech. <\/p>\n
Earlier Mugesera had demanded that court produces the original speech in possession with state broadcaster ORINFOR arguing the one court had was not authentic.<\/p>\n
The hearing was adjourned to Friday at 8:30 AM.<\/p>\n
Court inquired from Mugesera three times whether the speech could be played during the hearing. <\/p>\n
However, Mugesera quickly claimed he was sick when court was about to start playing the Speech.<\/p>\n
Iam sick. Iam unable to proceed with the hearing\u2026 Why are you forcing me in this trial? <\/p>\n
If you are sick you should have informed the prisons authorities to process your medical attention at a hospital. <\/p>\n
Why did you come here if you knew you were unable to stand trial?<\/p>\n
Mugesera had earlier today before the court session opened, told members of the prosecution that he was feeling unwell. <\/p>\n
However, court told him that anything that was said out of court couldn\u2019t be taken serious for there are proper procedures to address such an issue. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
