US EditionRwandan opposition leader Ingabire appears in court on subversion charges
- Rwandan opposition leader Victoire Ingabire appeared in a Kigali courtroom on Tuesday for the first time since her June 19 arrest on subversion charges.
- Ingabire's detention and trial stem from accusations of conspiracy to incite unrest involving nine suspects, including a journalist, while she denies all charges as politically motivated.
- Her bail hearing was postponed to July 15 due to defence objections over unclear indictments and delayed clearance for her preferred Kenyan legal team, temporarily represented by lawyer Gatera Gashabana.
- The judge ruled for postponement but emphasized Ingabire's right to full preparation and warned no further delays beyond July 15; prosecutor Emmanuel Nkubito stressed timely justice over foreign lawyer clearance delays.
- The court will hear the case within a week regardless of her legal team assembly, and if convicted, Ingabire could face several years in prison, returning her to incarceration after a 2018 presidential pardon release.
