WICHITA<\/span> (Etats-Unis<\/span>) \u2014 Le jury n\u2019a pas r\u00e9ussi \u00e0 se mettre d\u2019accord mardi sur un verdict dans le cadre du proc\u00e8s aux Etats-Unis<\/span> d\u2019un immigr\u00e9 rwando-burundais<\/span>, l\u2019octog\u00e9naire Lazare<\/span> Kobagaya<\/span>, accus\u00e9 d\u2019avoir menti sur son r\u00f4le dans le g\u00e9nocide commis au Rwanda<\/span> pour obtenir la nationalit\u00e9 am\u00e9ricaine.<\/em><\/p>\n

Kobagaya<\/span>, 84 ans, a \u00e9crit sur les formulaires d\u2019immigration qu\u2019il a v\u00e9cu au Burundi<\/span> au cours du g\u00e9nocide des Tutsi<\/span> en 1994 au Rwanda<\/span> et a ni\u00e9 avoir particip\u00e9 dans les atrocit\u00e9s commis au Rwanda<\/span>. Il a obtenu la nationalit\u00e9 am\u00e9ricaine en 2006.<\/p>\n

Le jury ne l\u2019a finalement reconnu coupable que d\u2019un chef d\u2019accusation, celui d\u2019avoir menti aux agents de l\u2019immigration am\u00e9ricaine sur son lieu de r\u00e9sidence entre 1993 et 1995.<\/p>\n

Des t\u00e9moins cit\u00e9s par l\u2019accusation et qui ont fait le voyage depuis l\u2019Afrique vers le Kansas<\/span> ont accus\u00e9 Kobagaya<\/span> d\u2019avoir ordonn\u00e9 que des personnes soient battues et tu\u00e9es et leurs maisons br\u00fbl\u00e9es pendant le g\u00e9nocide des Tutsi<\/span> en 1994.<\/p>\n

Mais les avocats Kobagaya<\/span> ont d\u00e9clar\u00e9 que l\u2019accusation reposait sur les d\u00e9clarations des \u00ab sept tueurs condamn\u00e9s \u00bb au Rwanda<\/span>, qui avaient \u00e9t\u00e9 bien pay\u00e9s pour leur t\u00e9moignage, a rapport\u00e9 AFP<\/span>.<\/p>\n

La d\u00e9fense a peint une image diff\u00e9rente de Kobagaya<\/span>, en disant que pendant le g\u00e9nocide, il a sauv\u00e9 sa femme, qui est une Tutsi<\/span>.<\/p>\n

Les avocats de la d\u00e9fense affirment que Kobagaya<\/span> a \u00e9t\u00e9 faussement accus\u00e9 par des villageois qui ont pris part aux massacres et d\u2019autres qui ont \u00e9t\u00e9 impliqu\u00e9s dans le g\u00e9nocide et ont re\u00e7u des peines r\u00e9duites pour accuser Kobagaya<\/span>.<\/p>\n

\u00ab Ils n\u2019ont m\u00eame pas pris la peine de v\u00e9rifier que la femme de Lazare<\/span> est une Tutsi<\/span> \u00bb, a d\u00e9clar\u00e9 Kurt<\/span> Kerns<\/span>, un de ses avocats.<\/p>\n

Le minist\u00e8re public ne s\u2019est pas prononc\u00e9 sur ce qui allait se passer d\u00e9sormais, en particulier si un nouveau proc\u00e8s \u00e9tait organis\u00e9 pour parvenir \u00e0 un verdict concernant l\u2019accusation sur laquelle le jury n\u2019a pas pu se mettre d\u2019accord, ou si l\u2019accus\u00e9 serait expuls\u00e9 vers le Rwanda<\/span> compte tenu du verdict partiel de culpabilit\u00e9 obtenu.<\/p>\n
