| | | | This “hate media trial” assumed a special importance, since it was the first time since the trial of Hitler’s propagandists at Nuremberg that journalists appeared in the dock of an international tribunal.
Though at first sight it could have been seen as an attack on the liberty of the press, the trial nevertheless was very well received by the people of the media as well as by the international community overall. Reporters sans Frontières (RSF) even welcomed the proceedings of the ICTR, hoping that the judgment would constitute a precedent such that it would dissuade other similar media initiatives in Rwanda or in other countries. This organization also expressed the hope that this trial would bring to light the mechanisms which allowed the creation and development of an extremist press of such a particularly obnoxious and dangerous nature. | |     click for more... | |  |  | | nationality : | | | Rwanda | | | date of birth : | | | 25.12.1957 | | | last time seen : | | | Mali | | | period of charges : | | | 01.01.1994 - 31.12.1994 | | | judgement period : | | | 23.10.2000 - 08.12.2003 | | | charges : | | | Crimes against humanity
