{Father Wenceslas Munyeshyaka has sued a French Television after it aired the show in which Munyeshyaka is asserted of the role in the 1994 Genocide against Tutsi.}
Munyeshyaka is a Rwandan Priest suspected of Genocide crimes committed in Rwanda.
Munyeshya said the TV should have obeyed the presumption of Innocence throughout the documentary Film.
The TV documentary in question was broadcast on April 13, 2014 and it was dedicated in part to the asserted role played by the clergyman in the Rwandan genocide.
A hearing was held Wednesday, October 15 in Paris as a result of a complaint filed by the priest Wenceslas Munyeshyaka against France 3 TV Journalists Mathieu Sarfati and Jean-Pascal Bublex.
The court will determine whether the turn of the story was defamatory on Wednesday, Nov. 26, 2014.
Father Wenceslas Munyeshyaka has already been the subject of an international arrest warrant issued by the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR).
He also was sentenced in absentia to life imprisonment in 2006 by a Rwandan court.
The ICTR requires the priest to be tried in France by a criminal court. His case is under investigation.
