The Chief Prosecutor of the UN's International Residual Mechanism for Criminal Tribunals (IRMCT), Serge Brammertz, is set to meet survivors of the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi at Nyange Genocide Memorial in Ngororero District.

They will discuss the role of Fulgence Kayishema, a former police inspector accused of killing 2,000 Tutsi who sought refuge at Nyange Catholic Parish during the Genocide. Kayishema was arrested on the outskirts of Cape Town, South Africa, in May.

The objective of Brammertz's visit is to update victims and survivors on the progress of Kayishema's trial, shed light on the ongoing trial of Felicien Kabuga, and underscore his office's unwavering commitment to ensuring accountability for the atrocities committed during the 1994 Genocide.

Kayishema, a man who committed genocide at his birthplace in the former Kibuye Prefecture, had been on the run for more than two decades. He, among others, disguised himself as a Burundian national and then as a Malawian. He used multiple names and aliases.
