Kwemera ibyaha no kumvikana ku bihano

Ubucamanza mu Rwanda buherutse gutangiza uburyo buzwi mu yandi mahanga nka “Plea bargaining” aho uregwa ibyaha/icyaha aganira n’ubushinjacyaha, mbere y’iperereza cyangwa mbere y’urubanza. 

Ubu ni “ubwumvikane bushingiye ku kwemera icyaha” kandi bubaho ku bushake bw’ukekwaho icyaha n’ubushinjacyaha, nk’uko Mutabazi abivuga. 

Ubu buryo bwemejwe n’itegeko rigenga imanza z’inshinjabyaha mu Rwanda bushingira ku bintu bibiri; kwemera ibyaha (na mbere y’iperereza) hamwe no kuganira ku bihano. 

Mutabazi ati: “Ubushinjacyaha n’uwakoze icyaha barahura, uyu yakwemera ibyaha umushinjacyaha akaba yakuraho bimwe mubyo amurega akamworohereza kugira ngo abe yahabwa n’ibihano bitoya.”
