He was extradited from Canada after a 15-year battle against extradition.<\/p>\n<p>Appearing before the Kigali High Court on Monday, Mugesera made a number of complaints and asked for 48 more days. He said one of his lawyers, Ottachi Bw\u2019Omwanwa of Kenya, had only got the necessary authorizations from the Kigali Bar late. He also claimed prison services had breached the confidentiality of his exchanges with his defence, and that they belatedly supplied the computer equipment he needs to prepare his defence.<\/p>\n<p>The three judges of the court, presided by Judge Athanase Bakuzakundi found that the Kenyan lawyer had indeed not had enough time to prepare with his client. However, they threw out the other complaints and set the December 17 date.<\/p>\n<p>Mugesera\u2019s trial was originally due to start on September 19.
