Together with their lawyers, they all appeared in court on Thursday, June 11, for bail hearing, though it did not materialize, owing to prosecution's failure to feed the details of their charges into the online case management system.

Appearing before court, the defendants' lawyers complained to court that they had not been able to access the files detailing the accusations that their clients face because prosecution had not fed them into the system.

"Two days ago, we logged into the online system and reminded court and prosecution to assist us with the documents concerning our clients' charges.

In response, the prosecutor in charge of the case told court that there is a general problem in the online system, specifically on the part of Rwanda Investigation Bureau (RIB) who are currently unable to feed documents into the system.

Due to such hindrances, the presiding judge postponed the bail hearing to June 18, to give time the lawyers to access the files and also meet their clients to discuss their defence.
