The High Court today postponed a ruling in the case involving Victoire Umuhoza Ingabire, the leader of an opposition party which is yet to be registered. The Court set October 30 as the new date for its verdict. Ingabire is accused of terrorism, hate speech, among other charges. Yesterday, Ingabire lost her Supreme Court petition against use of the law that punishes genocide ideology in her case, which she argued contravened the constitution. Her co-accused – four former senior members of the Congo-based Democratic Forces for the Liberation of Rwanda (FDLR), a militia largely blamed for the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda – pleaded guilty and implicated her in subversive activities in the country.
