Forces under his command were allegedly responsible for the murder of Prime Minister Agathe Uwilingiyimana and ten Belgian UN peacekeeping soldiers.\n<\/p>\n<p >\nThe closed door hearings are meant to preserve evidence in case Mpiranya is caught and brought to justice one day. The publishers of his memoirs, Editions Sources du Nil, claims that he is dead, but ICTR Prosecutor Hassan Bubacar Jallow believes he is in hiding in Zimbabwe.\n<\/p>\n<p >\nThe prosecution is expected to call to the stand around thirty witnesses. All hearings will be held in camera. A Defence lawyer assigned by the ICTR Registry will be entitled to cross-examine witnesses and lead defence investigations.\n<\/p>\n<p >\nMpiranya was born in 1960 in Giciye (Gisenyi prefecture, northwest Rwanda). A graduate of the Superior Military School of Kigali, he trained in Germany and France before becoming commander of the Presidential Guard Battalion in 1993.\n<\/p>\n<p >\nThe Tribunal has already started conducting similar proceedings in the case of most wanted fugitive F&eacute;licien Kabuga, believed to have been the main financier of the genocide.
