ICTR judges end visit

    NAIROBI

    ICTR judges, prosecutors and defence lawyers on Thursday ended their first official visit to Rwanda, news organisations reported. They had spent three days visiting areas of the western Kibuye prefecture at the request of defence lawyers for defendant, Ignace Bagilishema - the former mayor of Mabanza commune in Kibuye. Rwanda’s representative to the tribunal Martin Ngoga expressed satisfaction with the visit, according to the Hirondelle news agency. He said Rwanda believed the judges were better able to render justice if they saw the massacre sites for themselves.
