The medico-psychological expert, Jean Luc Ploy\u00e9 affirms during his hearing before the Paris Assize Court that the accused Laurent Bucyibaruta is completely normal and rooted in reality.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This comes after that the request of the defense which had advanced the conclusions aiming at the annulment of the trial got rejected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAn unfair trial is much worse than the absence of a trial\u201d said Me. Jean Marie BIJU-DUVAL who judges this trial unfair, because this trial comes too late, and the judicial institution have been failing. \u201cThe reasonable time was not respected and the accused is in no way responsible\u201d he added. The lawyer listed the various reasons for the delay in judging his client.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Still according to the defence, this delay has consequences for the rights of the accused; sick, old, Laurent BUCYIBARUTA will not be able to defend himself, in addition, his wife is ill and will not be able to come and testify.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The trial goes on\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

To the declaration of the civil parties, the defense lawyer Me. Joachim LEVY asks that about the civil parties constitution the rules of law be respected. \u201cIt is unthinkable to accept civil parties of victims killed on sites for which my client is not prosecuted\u201d he said; What no one else disputed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hearing of Mrs. Agn\u00e8s Aupetit, personality investigator<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The meeting with the accused dates from 2005! The witness recalls the different stages of the career of Mr. Laurent BUcyibaruta, \u201ca reserved man, unaccustomed to talking about himself,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A refugee in Zaire in 1994, he stayed there for two years before joining the Central African Republic, then France in 1997. \u201cWhen he heard of the death of two of his children in the Congo camps, he expressed no anger , neither sadness nor sorrow,\u201d added Mrs. Aupetit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His wife will join him in 1998, followed by two of his refugee children in Zambia, the accused will be denied refugee status. As for his professional career, \u201che would have suffered it,\u201d noted Mrs. Aupetit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

New series of questions to the accused.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

On resumption, Mr. President of the court, Judge Jean Marc Lavergne seeks to learn more about the early years of the accused, his training in Catholic schools including the College of \u2018Christ Roi\u2019 in Nyanza, his various meetings with personalities who could have marked Mr. Bucyibaruta such as Alexis Kanyarengwe, L\u00e9onidas Rusatira, who would have spoken of the accused, Edouard Karemera, Hormisdas Nsengimana, director of \u2018Christ-Roi\u2019, judged in Arusha but acquitted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So many personalities who have favored the permanent promotions from which the accused was able to benefit, as for Aloys Simba, Bucyibaruta rubbed shoulders with him in Gikongoro in 1994 but he says little about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To the discussion on different stages of the defendant’s career: a year in Nigeria, a job at Akagera Park, an appointment as mayor, two posts as sub-prefect in Gisenyi and Butare, finally two posts as prefect , Kibungo and Gikongoro; an exemplary career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hearing of Mr. Jean-Luc Ploy<\/strong>\u00e9, medico-psychological expert<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was in 2000 that the expertise took place, within the prison \u2018de la Sant\u00e9\u2019. The expert recognizes that the accused is intelligent, structured, that he understands quickly and that he has a developed ethical sense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Mr. Bucyibaruta’s case, he does not detect any personality disorder or any particular pathology, what surprises the expert is that the accused does not feel any emotional vibration at the mention of the heaviness of the charges. Returning to his professional career, Mr. Ploy\u00e9 recognizes that it has followed a perfect trajectory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some personal questions to the accused<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

President Lavergne takes up a series of rather personal questions to which the accused submits with good grace; in fact, the accused is an affable, courteous, not brittle character, with Judeo-Christian sensitivity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He rejects, however, that they speak of \u2018clientelism\u2019 about him. He knows how to distinguish good from bad, when he does something, he does it in conscience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The President even feels a certain admiration for a man who, for more than 20 years, submitted with great regularity to the judicial control to which he was subject! That would be so rare!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As for the charges against him, the accused says that they are fabricated from scratch and claims that he is unjustly imprisoned: \u201cI am innocent, it undermines my dignity,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Me. Biju-Duval, defense lawyer, underlines in turn by speaking of a \u2018magnificent judicial respect\u2019 and concerning his lack of emotionalism, a Rwandan proverb that applies well to his client: \u2018The noble walks majestically, even when he suffers\u2019 Proverb which echoes what the accused had quoted: “When a man cries, his tears flow inside.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The accused is to respond to charges of serious attacks on the life and physical and mental integrity of Tutsi gathered at the \u2018ETO\u2019 sites in Murambi, Tutsi prisoners in Gikongoro prison, Tutsi gathered on the sites of Cyanika and Kaduha catholic parishes resulted in more than 120,000 victims, and on the students of the school Marie Merci of Kib\u00e9ho.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
