Africa-Press – Rwanda. <\/strong><\/span>A UN court on Friday, March 10, temporarily suspended the hearing of the prosecution’s evidence in a trial of genocide mastermind Felicien Kabuga following a medical report that stated that he is \u201ctoo ill to stand trial.\u201d<\/p>\n

The medical report was commissioned by The Hague-based court, the International Residual Mechanism for Criminal Tribunals (IRMCT), which is trying Kabuga.<\/p>\n

According to IRMCT, it is appropriate to first suspend the evidentiary hearings \u201cpending the resolution of the issue of Kabuga’s fitness\u201d to stand trial.<\/p>\n

\u201cConsidering further that the trial Chamber will benefit from an examination in a court of Independent Medical Experts to guide its decision on the future course of this trial,\u201d read part of the statement.<\/p>\n

In addition, it is anticipated that the chamber will hear oral submissions from the parties immediately following the testimonies of the Independent Medical Experts unless circumstances dictate otherwise.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, current modalities will remain in force for these hearings, including 90-minute court sessions with a 15-minute break and the suspect will attend by video conference if he chooses to participate.<\/p>\n

The court was hearing from prosecution witnesses pinning Kabuga on playing a key role in the 1994 genocide against the Tutsi in which more than one million people were killed.<\/p>\n

Kabuga, who was a wealthy state-connected businessman during the Genocide, was arrested in May 2020 in the French capital Paris, ending a 25-year manhunt for one of the most wanted fugitives.<\/p>\n
