Arusha, June 5, 2012 (FH) \u2013 The trial of former Rwandan Planning Minister Augustin Ngirabatware Tuesday resumed before the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR)\u00a0with the testimony of Prosecution's last witness.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
A\u00a0Nigerian diplomat testifying under the code name PRWIII, he had been called, as an additional witness, in the prosecution\u2019s case to rebut the defence of alibi advanced by Ngirabatware that he was not in Rwanda\u00a0between April 23\u00a0and May 23, 1994.<\/p>\n
He testified in total closed session before a Trial Chamber presided by Tanzanian Judge William Sekule.<\/p>\n
Earlier, the prosecution had indicated that the evidence of witness PRWIII would center on a visa stamped on the passport of the ex-minister and refute his claims that he obtained\u00a0this Nigerian visa in Senegal in 1994.<\/p>\n
In the case, Ngirabatware is charged with conspiracy to commit genocide, genocide or in the alternative, complicity in genocide, direct and public incitement to commit genocide and extermination and rape as crimes against humanity.<\/p>\n
