The Rwandan Authorities through their local funded media outlets have been spreading their usual propaganda that the Spanish arrest warrants which led to the Arrest and Detention of Gen. Karenzi Karake in London recently that have been revoked is not only misleading, hypocritical but also full of lies. Indeed, it’s unfortunate to the families and the suspects under this international prosecution. Under the big head line with the New Times the RPF mouth piece, “Spanish Supreme Court revokes warrants against 40 Rwandans, recognizes Rwanda’s primary competence”.

However, this is not true, for reasons we don’t know, the RPF and the Attorney General of Rwanda don’t tell the Rwandan people the truth particularly to the families and the suspects under this international sanction.

In fact what the Spanish Supreme Court has done is to uphold the earlier decision of the High Court that crimes which are retroactive in nature be stayed, accordingly the following suspects have been removed from the list of the arrest warrants not because they are innocent but simply because the law that they are under prosecuted is retroactive. Jack Nziza , Samuel Kayemera(Sam Kaka) , Twahirwa Dodo , Karaka Misingo , Alphonse Kaje , Frank Bajunzi , Dan Gapjizi ,John Butera ,Captain Matayo , Peter Kalimba  and John Bagabo.

However, the following suspects including Gen Karenzi Karake remain wanted by the Spanish Prosecution and vulnerable to all European judicial jurisdictions.

  • James Kabarebe, Major General
  • Kayumba Nyamwasa, Major General
  • Karenzi Karake, Brigadier General
