CASE No RPAA 0039/14 / CS
Page |4
The Court’s analysis
14. Article 195 of Law No. 30/2013 of 24/05/2013 relating to the Criminal Procedure
Code, stipulates that the decision on the application for review shall not be subject
to any procedure of appeal.
15. This Court therefore finds that, as the High Court held, on the basis of the said
provision, HABYARIMANA's appeal should have been struck out as it sought to
overturn a decision on the application for review, and therefore, his appeal against
the High Court’s decision lacks legal basis.
III.
COURT DECISION
16. Holds that HABYARIMANA Donatien's appeal was filed in accordance with the
procedure prescribed by law, but is unfounded.
17. Decides that the judgment under appeal RPA 0589/14 / HC / KIG remains
unchanged; the sentence of life imprisonment and a fine of 200,000 Frw imposed
on HABYARIMANA by judgment RP 0034/09 / TGI / GIC remains.
18. Orders that the costs of the proceedings be borne by the State Treasury
ISSUED AND READ PUBLICLY ON 22/09/2017.
