Seven Ambassadors representing various countries in Rwanda have requested the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR) based in Arusha to set free five detainees proved innocent.
Their request follows a trip they took at ICTR premises, where they visited the courts various departments including, registrar, prison cells and also met judges and prosecutors.
Uganda’s ambassador Richard Kabonero noted that the five detainees were proved guilty and there was no reason for them continue to be detained.
He further challenged the court’s excuse claiming that they are working on logistics to integrate them back to the Rwandan society, citing the process was delaying.
Meanwhile, the ambassadors hailed the courts performance especially in fighting impunity and its campaign against genocide.
Among the ambassadors who visited ICTR on 3rd February this year, represent Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, China, European Union, South Africa and Russia.
