Canadian federal court suspends deportation of Rwandan man SPECIAL

A Canadian federal court judge has suspended the deportation of a Rwandan man until his case is reviewed and justice is ensured.

"This is an unusual matter which involves the court's equitable jurisdiction to prevent a miscarriage of justice," Judge Michael Phelan said in a ruling Friday, three days before the scheduled deportation.

Jean Berchmans Habinshuti sought asylum in Canada in 2011 but was later stripped of his refugee status and jailed in 2014 after a Canadian immigration official said he was inadmissible because of his ties to a regime that governed Rwanda prior to the genocide.

"This man has been wrongly imprisoned for a year and a half, under constant threat of deportation. This injustice is rooted in our Kafkaesque immigration law, which is so broad it is interpreted as capturing the innocent," Habinshuti's lawyer Raoul Boulakia told Digital Journal.

Habinshuti was the private secretary to Rwanda's Prime Minister Agathe Uwilingiyimana, a highly respected politician who was killed by presidential guards as soon as the genocide began.

Habinshuti himself was not part of the interim government that took over during the genocide. After the prime minister was murdered he went into hiding with his family during the three-month carnage. He later became a member of parliament in post-genocide Rwanda and was never charged with war crimes. Before fleeing Rwanda four years ago, Habinshuti fell out of favour with the ruling Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF)-- led by President Paul Kagame -- when he was asked to testify against someone he believed was innocent, his family told Digital Journal.

After Canada ordered his deportation in 2014, the Rwandan government accused Habinshuti of genocide, conspiracy to commit genocide and complicity to commit genocide, among other crimes.

Several experts in Rwandan politics and history offered statements of support for Habinshuti, among them Faustin Twagiramungu, Rwanda's first post-genocide prime minister who ultimately broke with Kagame's iron-fisted rule and fled the country in 1995 amid fears for his life.

Susan Thomson, who teaches peace and conflict studies at Colgate University in New York, wrote a letter on Habinshuti's behalf, saying he appeared to be a victim of a smear campaign by the Rwandan government.

"A number of Rwandan critics such as Jean Berchmans Habinshuti are caught up in smear campaigns, which are tied to a broader RPF strategy of controlling the narrative of how the genocide happened, who planned it and why," wrote Thomson, author of Whispering Truth to Power: Everyday Resistance to Reconciliation in Postgenocide Rwanda.

Habinshuti's immigration application in Canada was bungled when an official wrongly interpreted a passage in a book written by genocide scholar André Guichaoua from the University of Paris. Guichaoua wrote that Habinshuti and Prime Minister Uwilingiyimana attended a meeting that became a turning point in the days leading up to the genocide.

The immigration appeal division interpreted this passage to mean that Habinshuti exercised influence as an official in a regime that committed genocide and crimes against humanity.

Guichaoua, who has provided expertise for Canada's war crimes court and for the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda, tried to correct this misinterpretation in an affidavit. He intervened again this week by contacting Canada's Department of Justice, saying Habinshuti was the victim of a grave injustice.

On Friday, Judge Phelan said Guichaoua had pointed out his book had been "wrongly utilized in immigration proceedings…(and)…misunderstood."

"It is in the interests of justice that deportation be stayed to permit this matter to be addressed," the judge noted.

Rwanda has recently stepped up attempts to silence critics who have fallen afoul with the regime, accusing them of genocide and urging western nations to deport them.

A case raising concern in the United States is that of Leopold Munyakazi, a Rwandan professor who taught French at Goucher College in Maryland. Munyakazi faces deportation on charges of inciting genocide and genocide negation following a speech he gave in 2006 in which he called the violence in Rwanda 'civil war' instead of genocide.

"I refer to it as civil war, not genocide; it was about political power," Munyakazi said. "Ethnicity is not really understood about Rwanda. In Rwanda there are no tribes. There are social groups. They are one single people."

Munyakezi was first arrested in Rwanda in 1994 after a conference he attended where he expressed his views. He spent more than four years in prison but was never charged with crimes.

Experts -- including the late Alison Des Forges from Human Rights Watch – argued that Rwanda's 2006 indictment against Munyakazi was not convincing.

Thomson, meanwhile, urged US authorities to stop the deportation process.

"Leopold Munyakazi has been the subject of government of Rwanda harassment and intimidation of its real and perceived political opponents. The ruling Rwandan Patriotic Front seeks to assert total control of public and political life in Rwanda, both as a way to consolidate its power base while eliminating all forms of dissent," she wrote in a letter to US immigration officials.

This week Munyakazi's deportation was suspended pending a judicial review.

[haguruka.com] Rwanda: Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals to rule in Munyakazi case

Rwanda: Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals to rule in Munyakazi case

November 20, 2015

by Ann Garrison

Dr. Léopold Munyakazi is a Rwandan intellectual and former Goucher College French professor who expected to be deported from the U.S. to Rwanda on Friday, Nov. 13, 2015. His attorney, Ofelia L. Calderón, had filed legal papers requesting a stay until his appeal could be heard in the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals, but the stay had been denied and his wife had been told to deliver a suitcase of no more than 40 pounds to the jail by 4 p.m. on Friday.

Dr. Léopold Munyakazi, right, poses with his wife, Catherine, and their friend, Nicole Lee Wills, who has organized a Léopold support committee.

He had used a 20-second courtesy call to say goodbye and thank you to Nicole Lee Wills, a close friend who had done all she could to try and stop his deportation to all but certain imprisonment, torture and possibly even extrajudicial execution.

Three days later, on Monday, Nov. 16, 2015, he and his family and supporters were informed that his deportation will be suspended until his appeal can indeed be heard in the Fourth District Court of Appeals. No one on his support team is quite sure why, but some have contacted members of Congress and State Department officials to protest his deportation and ask that his appeal be heard before the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals.

Ofelia L. Calderón, the immigration attorney who has represented Dr. Munyakazi pro bono for the past nine years, shared this new, near term legal timeline: "Nov. 23 is the government's response due date. Then we have another 15 days to reply. Then we wait for the possibility of arguing in court."

The Rwandan government accuses Dr. Munyakazi of incitement to genocide and genocide divisionism. However, the Rwandan government did not indict and issue arrest warrants for Dr. Munyakazi until after he had given several speeches on Delaware and Maryland college campuses, in which he said that the Rwandan massacres of 1994 were a form of class war and fratricide because Rwandans are one people who speak the same language, share the same culture, and marry one another.

These statements undermine the justification of Rwanda's totalitarian government, which is that it stopped a genocide.

Attorney Ofelia L. Calderón provided this precise summary of events that led to Dr. Munyakazi's appeal in the Fourth District Court of Appeals.

"Leopold was originally detained from Oct. 24, 1994, until Aug. 30, 1999, as part of the post genocide round up [in Rwanda]. He did not receive a trial nor was he actually charged with crimes. According to documents from the Rwandan government, they interviewed individuals in Kirwa who all indicated that Leopold had no part of the genocide.

Immigration attorney Ofelia L. Calderón, who has represented Dr. Munyakazi pro bono for nine years.

"In 2004, he came to the U.S. for a conference and learned he was on a list of individuals with 'divisive ideas.' He applied for asylum pro se, which was not adjudicated for four years. During that time, he was a teacher and later a lecturer at Montclair.

"He gave two speeches where he described the genocide as a fratricide: Oct. 25, 2006, at the University of Delaware and then Nov. 15, 2006, at Montclair. The first warrant was issued Nov. 10, 2006, and the second Oct. 20, 2008. In January of 2009, DHS denied his asylum and referred him to court as well as arresting him in his home.

"The Rwandan government issued warrants accusing Leopold of inciting the genocide. Specifically, they claim he was involved with a group in or around Kirwa. They claim that he was present at a large meeting where he told other Hutus to go out and kill Tutsis. They also accuse him of genocide negation [a speech crime in Rwanda]. I don't have any other official statements, but the warrants and indictment themselves.

"As for the law, a person cannot get asylum if there is evidence indicating that they are a persecutor of others. So, notwithstanding a finding that he has been the subject of past persecution and has a reasonable fear of future persecution based on his political opinion, he was found ineligible for asylum because we were unable to demonstrate by a preponderance of the evidence that he was NOT involved in the genocide.

"The evidence of the U.S. government consisted of the warrants and reports from a special agent who went to Rwanda to investigate these claims. He interviewed a number of people, most of whom were convicted genocidaires who 'suddenly' had information that Leopold was at this April 19 meeting."

Rwandan officer who leaked assassination-list evidence becomes a target

JOHANNESBURG — THE GLOBE AND MAIL

Published Thursday, Nov. 19, 2015 8:57PM EST

The United States has warned a former Rwandan military officer that his life is in danger after he gave evidence to The Globe and Mail about the Rwandan government's alleged efforts to assassinate dissidents who had fled abroad.

The former officer, Robert Higiro, provided audio recordings and other evidence for a Globe and Mail investigation into the Rwandan government's involvement in attacks and planned attacks on exiled Rwandan dissidents around the world.

Mr. Higiro was living in Belgium at the time of the investigation, but the U.S. State Department has advised him to leave Belgium for his own safety, according to the chairman of a U.S. congressional subcommittee that has been investigating his allegations. His current location is now being kept secret.

"The State Department has not only found the allegations to be credible, but warned Major Higiro to leave Belgium, where his life was in danger," said U.S. Representative Chris Smith, a senior member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee.

Mr. Smith is chairman of a subcommittee that heard testimony from Mr. Higiro in May, several months after the Globe and Mail report was published. He followed up with more questions about the case last month during testimony by senior State Department officials.

"When Rwandan Major Robert Higiro testified, we had vetted him very, very carefully, and I know we asked the State Department to review his evidence, which seemed very compelling," Mr. Smith told the officials. "And my understanding is very clearly that you found it to be credible."

Linda Thomas-Greenfield, the assistant secretary of state for African affairs, said the U.S. government has been raising the issue "at every level" with the Rwandan government.

"In all of our engagements with the Rwandan government and president, we have raised our concerns about human-rights violations, about reports and allegations of extra-judicial killings, about disappearances," she told the subcommittee.

"They have denied their involvement in all of these cases, but we have been clear in our messaging that this will have a real deep impact on our future engagement with the Rwandans."

Ms. Thomas-Greenfield said the country's social and economic progress has been impressive, but "that amazing legacy will be destroyed" if the government fails to respect human rights.

In an interview from an undisclosed location, Mr. Higiro said the Rwandan government has already approached gangs in Europe to try to kill him. "They want to take me out at any cost," he said.

He said he welcomes the public statements by the U.S. officials about the threats to his life. "It's good that they're making Rwanda accountable. It shows how seriously they are taking this."

After reviewing the Globe and Mail report earlier this year, Mr. Smith called for a full investigation by an international team, under the authority of the United Nations or African Union, with "unfettered access" to Rwandan government officials and documents.

Months of research by The Globe last year found evidence to support allegations of Rwandan government involvement in attacks or planned attacks on Rwandan dissidents in South Africa, Britain, Sweden, Belgium, Uganda, Kenya and Mozambique.

Mr. Higiro and other Rwandan exiles gave detailed accounts of being recruited to assassinate critics of Rwandan President Paul Kagame. The audio recordings provided by Mr. Higiro were telephone conversations in 2011 between him and Mr. Kagame's military-intelligence director, Colonel Dan Munyuza, in which Col. Munyuza allegedly offered $1-million (U.S.) to hire contract killers to assassinate two high-profile Rwandan dissidents in South Africa. One of the dissidents was strangled to death in a Johannesburg hotel room last year, while the other has survived repeated attacks.

The U.S. warning to Mr. Higiro about the threat to his life in Belgium is part of a larger pattern of threats against Mr. Kagame's critics in the same country. Early last year, eight Belgian police officers were deployed to guard the home of a former Rwandan prime minister, Faustin Twagiramungu, who has become a dissident and opponent of Mr. Kagame. He said Belgian police and state security officers had warned him that his life was in danger.

Judi Rever, a Canadian freelance journalist and co-author of the Globe and Mail investigative report last year, was given 24-hour protection by Belgian security officials for a week when she visited Brussels for research last year. The protection included an armoured car and two armed bodyguards, including one who searched her hotel room each time she entered. She said the officials told her the Belgian government had received credible information that the Rwandan embassy in Brussels posed a threat to her.

Western governments, including the United States and Canada, have been long-time supporters of Mr. Kagame, but this month the U.S. State Department urged Mr. Kagame to step down at the end of his current term in 2017, rather than seeking another term as he appears likely to do.

The State Department expressed "great concern" over a Rwandan parliamentary move to change the constitution to allow Mr. Kagame to seek another term.
