{{The High Court hearing of September 13 in the controversial case involving Victoire Ingabire and co-accused delayed focusing on two counts \u201cConspiracy to undermine Rwanda\u2019s leadership through war and terrorism and genocide ideology.}}<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

The prosecution informed the court that they were still waiting for incriminating evidences from Holland that will available by the end of this month and asked the court to consider waiting for the evidences.<\/p>\n

The other evidence presented by prosecutor was a booklet entitled \u2018UMURAGE W\u2019AMATEKA\u2019 published in 2000 by the FDU INKINGI represented by Ingabire.<\/p>\n

The prosecution said that the booklet content is full of lies inciting public disobedience and divisionism among Rwandans in the country and abroad.<\/p>\n

\u201cMadame Ingabire in this book negates and denies the 1994 genocide against the Tutsi, as she states that it was just mere killings and not genocide that took place in Rwanda,\u201d prosecution told the court.<\/p>\n

The prosecution further said that Ingabire, attributes the genocide to the former FPR Inkotanyi forces accusing them of downing the plane that was carrying the then Rwanda\u2019s President Juvenal Habyarimana, that triggered the 1994 genocide against the Tutsi.<\/p>\n

According to the Prosecution, Ingabire wrote in that book that \u201cFPR Inkotanyi party is a small group of Tutsis who have poorly governed the country, and that they have swallowed up all the country\u2019s resources while the population languishes in poverty\u201d.<\/p>\n

This kind of wording is aimed at denying the Rwandan genocide and inciting public disobedience the prosecution told the court.<\/p>\n

Testimonies from Major Vital Uwumuremyi and Lt. Col. Tharcisse Nditurende were used to elaborate on the conspiracy charges against Igabire and the four co-accused in which the four militants admitted to having received US$3,500 from Ingabire to buy military equipments which would be used in the attack on Rwanda.<\/p>\n

The trial continues this Thursday with the Prosecution presenting remaining evidences on the genocide ideology charge and on other new counts against the accused, which include spreading false propagandas aimed at inciting public disobedience and the sowing seeds of divisionism among Rwandans.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
