Kabuye arrest; 7 down, how many more to freezing point?

Today, we begin the first week that Rose Kabuye is held behind bars in the German town of Frankfurt, and frankly speaking, the authors of this miscarriage of justice have taken more than a mouthful. They had not bargained for Rose, as she is popularly known, deciding to meet them on their own turf, under their own rules. While for Rwandans Rose’s decision is the ultimate act of sacrifice– for her own freedom as well as her country’s honour– pundits are predicting a boomerang effect on Judge Bruguière’s blunder. They even go further to wonder whether France will risk being made a fool of itself by holding a public trial that its well knows is based on lies and Machiavellian plots to shield itself from the fallout of its blind support of a genocidal regime.
