The Bikindi case rests primarily on three of his songs. During the trial,the two parties called expert witnesses to interpret divergent translations from the original Kinyarwanda of Bikindi’s songs.
Bikindi was also indicted for acts allegedly committed in June and July 1994 when he had returned to Rwanda after a trip and before he escaped to Zaire (now Democratic Republic of Congo).
According to the prosecution, Bikindi is alleged to have directed the notorious Interahamwe militia at road blocks to intercept and kill Tutsis. Bikindi has denied the accusations.
The singer, who is defended by Andreas O' Shea, assisted by Jean de Dieu Momo, is before trial judges Mrs Inès Weinberg de Rocca(presiding), Mrs. Rita Arrey and Mr. Robert Fremr.
