ICTR jurists due in Kigali

    NAIROBI

    Judges, prosecutors and defence lawyers from the ICTR were due to visit Rwanda on Monday - the first working visit by the court to the country. The Hirondelle news agency said the jurists were working on the case of former mayor, Ignace Bagilishema, and would visit massacre sites in western Rwanda in connection with his trial. According to a press release from the ICTR, there would be no protocol visits to Rwandan officials in order not to compromise the case. The visit was requested by Bagilishema’s lawyer, Francois Roux.
