Claude muhayimana est confirm\u00e9 d\u2019\u00eatre le premier rwandais accus\u00e9 des crimes de g\u00e9nocide et des crimes contre l\u2019humanit\u00e9, qui sera jug\u00e9 par la cour d\u2019assise de Paris en 2021. Cela dans l\u2019\u00e8re de covid-19 qui a fait que la plus part des proc\u00e8s en 2020 soient suspendus.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

D\u2019apr\u00e8s la communiqu\u00e9e du 6 janvier 2021, de Monsieur Alain Gauthier, le pr\u00e9sident du collectif des partis civils pour le Rwanda (CPCR), le proc\u00e8s de Muhayimana se d\u00e9roulera du 2 au 26 f\u00e9vrier 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00ab\u00a0Le 6 juillet 2018, la Cour d\u2019assises de Paris condamnait en appel \u00e0 la r\u00e9clusion criminelle \u00e0 perp\u00e9tuit\u00e9 Tito Barahira et Octavien Ngenzi, deux anciens maires de la commune de Kabarondo, \u00e0 l\u2019Est du Rwanda. Covid-19 aidant, il aura fallu attendre plus de deux ans et demi pour que nous puissions avoir droit \u00e0 un nouveau proc\u00e8s\u00a0: Claude MUHAYIMANA, un employ\u00e9 municipal de la ville de Rouen, devait \u00eatre jug\u00e9 en octobre.\u00a0\u00bb \u00c9crit Gauthier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Les faits<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Claude Muhayimana est n\u00e9 en 1961 et est de nationalit\u00e9 fran\u00e7aise d’origine rwandaise. Il a obtenu la nationalit\u00e9 fran\u00e7aise en 2010. Il vit \u00e0 Rouen, France.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Muhayimana aurait organis\u00e9 le transport de milices hutues vers plusieurs endroits o\u00f9 des attaques contre des Tutsis ont eu lieu, alors qu’il \u00e9tait le chauffeur de la maison d’h\u00f4tes Kibuye. Il aurait \u00e9galement \u00e9t\u00e9 impliqu\u00e9 dans l’attaque de l’\u00e9cole de Nyamishaba (district de Kibuye) en avril 1994 et dans les massacres de civils tutsis qui avaient trouv\u00e9 un refuge temporaire \u00e0 Karongi, Gitwa et Bisesero entre avril et juin 1994.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Il est \u00e9galement accus\u00e9 d’avoir particip\u00e9 \u00e0 des meurtres perp\u00e9tr\u00e9s dans l’\u00e9glise de Kibuye le 17 avril 1994 et le lendemain au stade de Gatwaro. Les deux massacres ont entra\u00een\u00e9 la mort de milliers de victimes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Proc\u00e9dure l\u00e9gale<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le 13 d\u00e9cembre 2011, les autorit\u00e9s judiciaires rwandaises ont \u00e9mis un mandat d’arr\u00eat international contre Claude Muhayimana pour sa participation pr\u00e9sum\u00e9e au g\u00e9nocide rwandais. En outre, les autorit\u00e9s rwandaises ont demand\u00e9 son extradition par la France.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le 29 mars 2012, la chambre d\u2019instruction de la cour d\u2019appel de Rouen a rendu un avis favorable sur la question de l\u2019extradition de Muhayimana vers le Rwanda. La Cour a estim\u00e9 que les garanties fondamentales d’un proc\u00e8s \u00e9quitable et les droits de la d\u00e9fense seraient assur\u00e9s au Rwanda. Muhayimana a fait appel de cette d\u00e9cision en faisant valoir le contraire. Enfin, le 24 f\u00e9vrier 2014, la Cour de cassation fran\u00e7aise a statu\u00e9 que Muhayimana ne pouvait pas \u00eatre extrad\u00e9 car la demande du Rwanda reposait sur des lois adopt\u00e9es apr\u00e8s les crimes all\u00e9gu\u00e9s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le 9 avril 2014, Muhayimana a \u00e9t\u00e9 arr\u00eat\u00e9 \u00e0 Rouen \u00e0 la suite d’une plainte d\u00e9pos\u00e9e en juin 2013 par le Collectif des Parties Civiles pour le Rwanda (CPCR). Une enqu\u00eate p\u00e9nale a \u00e9t\u00e9 ouverte concernant son r\u00f4le pr\u00e9sum\u00e9 dans le g\u00e9nocide commis dans le district de Kibuye et il a \u00e9t\u00e9 plac\u00e9 en d\u00e9tention provisoire. Le 3 avril 2015, Muhayimana a \u00e9t\u00e9 lib\u00e9r\u00e9 et plac\u00e9 sous contr\u00f4le judiciaire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le 9 novembre 2017, le juge d’instruction a renvoy\u00e9 l’affaire devant le tribunal correctionnel de Paris (Cour d’assises) pour complicit\u00e9 de g\u00e9nocide et de crimes contre l’humanit\u00e9 par aide et complicit\u00e9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le Procureur a demand\u00e9 le rejet des accusations concernant les massacres commis dans l’\u00e9glise de Kibuye et dans le stade de Gatwaro, Muhayimana ayant pr\u00e9sent\u00e9 un alibi prouvant qu’il n’\u00e9tait pas l\u00e0 pendant les \u00e9v\u00e9nements. Muhayimana a fait appel de la d\u00e9cision sur le renvoi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

L’audience d’appel sur la d\u00e9cision de renvoyer l’affaire devant la juridiction comp\u00e9tente s’est d\u00e9roul\u00e9e le 18 octobre 2018 devant la chambre d’instruction de la cour d’appel de Paris.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le 4 avril 2019, la Cour d\u2019appel a confirm\u00e9 le renvoi de l\u2019affaire de Muhayimana devant le tribunal p\u00e9nal pour complicit\u00e9 de crimes contre l\u2019humanit\u00e9 et de g\u00e9nocide. Muhayimana a annonc\u00e9 son intention de faire appel devant la Cour supr\u00eame fran\u00e7aise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gauthier n\u2019appr\u00e9cie pas le rythme que prend la cour pour juger les acteurs du g\u00e9nocide contre les tutsis au Rwanda, mais se r\u00e9signe \u00e0 attendre avec impatience les proc\u00e8s \u00e0 venir comme ceux du pr\u00e9fet Laurent BUCYIBARUTA<\/a>, des m\u00e9decins Sosth\u00e8ne MUNYEMANA<\/a> et Eug\u00e8ne RWAMUCYO<\/a> qui ont fait appel de leur renvoi devant la Cour d\u2019assises, ainsi que Hyacinthe Rafiki NSENGIYUMVA<\/a>, ancien ministre du gouvernement int\u00e9rimaire et responsable des FDLR apr\u00e8s le g\u00e9nocide des Tutsi.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
