Kigali, April 25, 2012 (FH) - Genocide-suspect Jean Uwinkindi will appear before a judge in Kigali next Thursday morning, the spokesperson of Rwandan Office of the Prosecutor announced on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Two ICTR legal staff based in Kigali have been appointed to act as \u201c interim monitors\u201d of Uwinkindi's prison conditions and trial procedures in Rwanda, pending conclusion of negotiations between the ICTR and the African Commission on Human and People's Rights (ACHPR). <\/p>\n
The transfer could be revoked at any time in case of violation of the rights of the defence.<\/p>\n
