UBUSHINJACYAHA v. INGABIRE N’ABANDI

The Supreme Court held that Ingabire's conduct and statements constituted criminal conspiracy to harm the government, genocide denial, and incitement. The court found no fair trial violations, confirmed the court's power to recharacterize offences, excluded the Netherlands evidence (A, D, E) for the conspiracy charge, but found the remaining evidence sufficient. Sentences were adjusted to reflect aggravating and mitigating factors, with Ingabire sentenced to 15 years' imprisonment.

  • Incitement
