\nArusha, November 23, 2009 (FH) - Genocide-accused former Rwandan Deputy Governor, Dominique Ntawukulilyayo, will testify for his own defence on December 8, 2009, reports Hirondelle Agency.\n<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\n
\nNtawukulilyayo is charged with genocide and direct and public incitement to commit genocide in the southern Gisagara sub-prefecture, where he was the Deputy Governor in 1994. He has pleaded not guilty to the charges.\n<\/p>\n
\nPresiding Judge Khalida Khan said the accused was earlier scheduled to be in the dock on November 23, but the appearance had to be rescheduled after taking into consideration defence concerns that it has not yet prepared the defendant for his own defence.\n<\/p>\n
\nShe also added that some important materials were not yet translated into the language understood by the accused.\n<\/p>\n
\nThe Chamber has ordered that the translations be submitted by November 30 and the case was adjourned.\n<\/p>\n
\nSo far 22 defence witnesses have testified. The prosecution completed its case after calling 12 witnesses between May 6 and 26, 2009.\n<\/p>\n
