🚨 #Rwanda Early Release News 🚨
Alfred #Musema, who submitted a remorseful early release application to the #IRMCT a year ago, has his application denied.
"the very high gravity of his crimes & his insufficient demonstration of rehabilitation are significant factors militating against such release"

3) lack of guarantees of a right to a lawyer
4) unavailability of defence witnesses due to fear of #retaliation

The gang was all there for #Kabuga at the #IRMCT only to learn it was the last ever hearing in the #ICTY's legendary courtroom 1 where I spent a big chunk of my late twenties with accused Yugoslav war criminals @lucyjgaynor.bsky.social @janethanderson.bsky.social @mollyquell.bsky.social
A surprise end to the #Kabuga status conference.
Judge Bonomy announces that this will be the last time Courtroom 1 at the mechanism, #IRMCT, formerly the #ICTY, will be used as a Courtroom.
The last time “this storied and historic courtroom will be used”.
En route to #TheHague for yet another #Kabuga status conference.
The #IRMCT has said a recording will be available after the session (no mention of a stream).
Recent conferences have been brief, punctuated by frustration and helplessness from all trial parties, as Kabuga remains in detention.

At last, an #IRMCT statement about Judge Lydia #Mugambe (convicted (in March 2025) and sentenced on modern #slavery charges in the #UK).
The statement says, well, absolutely nothing. Only this afternoon has Mugambe's profile been removed from the Mechanism's website.

The AADC-ICT and ICCBA which have been granted leave to intervene as amici curiae in the Robinson case, express concern about “the inexplicable delay in bringing charges for the alleged conduct, which occurred nearly a decade ago”.

The Mechanism that succeeded the UN tribunals intends to prosecute the lawyer Peter Robinson for contempt of court. But who still needs this judicial institution, which has cost around 400 million dollars over the last twelve years?
#IRMCT #ICTR
Interesting development in the contempt proceedings against Peter Robinson before the #IRMCT. The Amicus Prosecutor requests a trial before the Mechanism rather than a referral to a national jurisdiction (such as Rwanda or the USA)

Rights of Prisoners in a Digital Age?
#IRMCT denies request of 14 #ICTR prisoners in #Benin to have devices containing case documents returned to them
Choosing "to store such information electronically does not transform their electronic devices into documents relating to their legal proceedings”
