An Ontario judge completely acquitted Jacques Mungwarere as he smiled inside Ottawa courtroom on Friday, when it was ruled that the allegations of organizing and executing brutal attacks in his native Rwanda against the ethnic minority almost two decades ago were based on “a fabrication of evidence.” The decision was announced by Ontario Superior Court Justice, Michel Charbonneau, after he reviewed an extensive number of evidence during the 26-week trial. Charbonneau announced “you are free.”
Mungwarere was brought in police custody in November 2009 in Windsor, Ont., where he had settled as a refugee of the genocide. Lawyer representing Mungwarere, Marc Nerenberg, mentioned after the announcement of decision that he is “acutely aware” that his client was locked up for three years and eight months. He added that “he practically told us down to the hour.” Court documents show that Mungwarere was a 22-year-old teacher who worked in the Kibuye prefecture of the small east African country at the time when deliberate and systematic killing of the Tutsis began in April 1994. An estimate of 800,000 Tutsis were hunted and viciously killed within the next 100 days.
Several years after the genocide, the government jailed more than 120,000 people over accusations of genocide, although Mungwarere was only accused of stealing cows. However, the RCMP received a tip in 2003 that initiated a six-year investigation which brought forward several witnesses claiming that Mungwarere planned attacks, distributed guns and shot a child dead.
harper and Kenny have their mouths open ! I wonder why ?
I wonder of how many such case have been filled against innocent people. Should those accusing or bearing false witness in these cases pay up? That is justice, right? Just wondering.
