The United Nations judges on Friday put the Rwandan genocide suspect, Felicien Kabuga’s trial on hold while they resolve whether he is in good enough health to remain in the dock.
The Hague-based court said it had received an independent medical report of the 90-year-old’s fitness to stand trial, and will hold further hearings on the issue later this month.
Kabuga went on trial in September last year, with prosecutors accusing him of setting up hate media that urged ethnic Hutus to kill rival Tutsis and supplying death squads with machetes.
