Mugesera Léon and Ingabire Umuhoza Victoire are at the Supreme Court seeking revocations of articles of some laws that were referred to in their pre-trial and trial of their cases.
Charles Kaliwabo the Courts Spokesman was quoted by NewTimes saying, “Ingabire and Mugesera had filed suits challenging the civil procedural code requesting the revocations of some articles that were referred to in their trials at the High Court.”
Mugesera is challenging a previous court decision denying him more time to study his dossier.
Ingabire is seeking interpretation of the genocide ideology law and if it is relevant in her case.
She faces three counts, including propagating genocide ideology.
The leader of FDU inkingi a political pressure group operating outside Rwanda claimed that prosecution is using the law on genocide ideology retrospectively, since it came into force in 2008, on crimes she allegedly committed in 2007.
