ICTR prosecutor to travel to Rwanda

    NAIROBI

    The chief prosecutor of the ICTR Carla del Ponte will travel to Rwanda over the weekend for a two-week visit to country, news organisations said quoting the deputy prosecutor Graham Blewitt at The Hague. Rwanda suspended its cooperation with ICTR in protest at its decision to free genocide suspect, Jean-Bosco Barayagwiza. Blewitt termed the decision an isolated incident. “There’s been this hiccup with the appeals chamber,” he said. “I anticipate that ultimately there will be meetings in Kigali and a working relationship will be developed,” AP quoted him as saying. Rwandan officials have said they will not meet del Ponte.
