Del Ponte reassures Kigali

    NAIROBI

    The ICTR Prosecutor, Carla del Ponte, on Sunday assured the Rwandan government that she is “actively seeking” a review of the 3 November decision ordering the release of Jean-Bosco Barayagwiza. In a statement, reported by Hirondelle news agency, she said she recognised the frustration and anger of the Rwandan government and victims of genocide following the decision. She expressed eagerness to visit her office in Kigali, saying that without doing so she could not fulfill the mandate she had been given by the Security Council. The Rwandan government has so far refused to grant her a visa.
