Incamake y’ikibazo: Murangwa yareze mu Rukiko rw’Ikirenga asaba kwemeza ko ingingo z’amategeko zijyanye n’isaka rikorwa hatanzwe uruhushya cyangwa ntarwatanzwe ko zinyuranyije n’Itegeko Nshinga, asaba kandi gutegeka Leta n’n’inzego zifite aho zihuriye n’iperereza guhagarika kwereka itangazamakuru abakekwaho ibyaha no kubahatira kuvugana naryo, ndetse rukanategeka abayobozi b’ibitangazamakuru, imbuga nkoranyambaga harimo na youtube, n’umuntu uwo ariwe wese, guhanagura burundu mu bubiko bwabo amafoto n’amashusho y’abakekwaho ibyaha bafashe.

Izo ngingo avuga ko zinyuranyije n’Itegeko Nshinga ni ingingo ya 10, agace ka 3, a, b na c ndetse n’agace ka 5, aka 7 n’aka 8, y’Itegeko N^o 12/2017 ryo ku wa 07/04/2017 rishyiraho Urwego rw’Igihugu rushinzwe Ubugenzacyaha rikanagena inshingano, ububasha, imitunganyirize n’imikorere byarwo; ingingo ya 38, iya 55, iya 56, iya 57, iya 60, iya 61 n’iya 70, z’Itegeko N^o 027/2019 ryo ku wa 19/09/2019 ryerekeye imiburanishirize y’imanza z’inshinjabyaha, zikaba zinyuranyije n’ingingo ya 13, iya 14, iya 23, iya 24, iya 29, iya 43 n’iya 61 z’Itegeko Nshinga rya Repubulika y’u Rwanda.

Uwatanze ikirego asobanura ko ibiteganyijwe mu ngingo ya 10 y’Itegeko N^o 12/2017 ryo ku wa 07/04/2017 ryavuzwe haruguru ari ukuvogera uburenganzira buteganyijwe mu Itegeko Nshinga, aho iteganya impamvu n’ibihe Urwego rw’Igihugu rushinzwe Ubugenzacyaha rushobora gusaka umuntu cyangwa ibintu, kwinjira mu nyubako cyangwa ahantu nta ruhushya rwo gusaka, kuba rwakora isaka rudafite urupapuro rw’isaka. Akomeza avuga ko ibi bifite aho bihurira n’ibiteganyijwe mu ngingo ya 38, iya 55, iya 56, iya 57, iya 60, iya 61 n’iya 70, z’Itegeko N^o 027/2019 ryo ku wa 19/09/2019 ryavuzwe haruguru kuko zose zijyanye n’isaka rya hantu ahariho hose hakekwa ko habereye cyangwa hafitanye isano n’ikorwa ry’icyaha, zikaba kandi ziteganya ko uruhushya rw’isaka rutangwa n’urwego rubarizwa mu Butegetsi Nyubahirizategeko (Executive), nyamara ingingo ya 43 y’Itegeko Nshinga iteganya ko Ubutegetsi bw’Ubucamanza ari bwo murinzi w’uburenganzira n’ubwisanzure bwa muntu, ari nabwo bukwiye gutanga urupapuro rw’isaka.

Akomeza avuga ko inshingano zo gutanga urupapuro rw’isaka zakagombye gukorwa n’Urukiko ku busabe bw’Umushinjacyaha, Umugenzacyaha cyangwa Polisi, rugatangwa ari uko Umucamanza amaze kugaragarizwa impamvu zifatika kugira ngo abatazubahiriza imbibi zashyizweho n’Urukiko bazabibazwe. Uko bikorwa ubu bituma iyo uwatanze uruhushya rw’isaka ahutaje uburenganzira bw’ukekwaho icyaha habura umugenzura ngo amukebure cyangwa abimubaze, kuko atakwifatira ibihano we ubwe, ibi bikaba binyuranyije n’ingingo ya 61 y’Itegeko Nshinga. Bivuze ko kuba isaka rikorwa n’Umugenzacyaha cyangwa Umushinjacyaha bifite imbogamizi z’uko bashobora kuzimangatanya ibimenyetso byari kuzarengera ukekwaho icyaha, ariyo mpamvu inyandiko y’isaka igomba gutangwa n’Urukiko rumaze kugaragarizwa ibigiye gusakwa, kugirango habeho gukumira amakosa ashobora gukorwa n’Ubushinjacyaha n’Ubugenzacyaha.

Avuga kandi ko mu gihe hakorwa isaka hatanzwe urupapuro rw’isaka cyangwa mu gihe habayeho gusaka nta rupapuro hagomba kubahirizwa ihame ryo gufatwa nk’umwere k’ukekwaho icyaha kugeza igihe urukiko rubifitiye ububasha rumuhamije icyaha nk’uko biteganywa n’Itegeko Nshinga ndetse n’amasezerano mpuzamahanga atandukanye u Rwanda rwashyizeho umukono. Ngo guhatira ukurikiranyweho icyaha kuvugana n’itangazamakuru bibangamiye ihame ry’uko ntawutegetswe kwishinja icyaha kuko Ubugenzacyaha n’Ubushinjacyaha arizo nzego zifite inshingano zo kugenza ibyaha, kubishakira ibimenyetso ndetse no kubishinja. Iyi migirire ituma itangazamakuru rihinduka nk’Urukiko n’imyumvire ya rubanda ikaba yagira ingaruka ku cyerekezo cy’Urukiko mu gihe cyo guca urubanza.

Uwatanze ikirego asoza asaba uru Rukiko ko rukwiye gutanga umurongo usobanura uburyo amagambo: impamvu zifatika, ibimenyetso bifatika n’ibimenyetso bikomeye yakoreshejwe mu ngingo ya 10, agace ka 3, a, b na c ndetse n’agace ka 5, aka 7 n’aka 8, y’Itegeko N^o 12/2017 ryo ku wa 07/04/2017 ryavuzwe haruguru akwiye kumvikana n’imbibi zayo, ibi bigakorwa mu nyungu z’itegeko.

Abahagarariye Leta y’u Rwanda muri uru rubanza, bavuga ko Uwatanze ikirego ntaho agaragaza ko ingingo baregera zinyuranyije n’Itegeko Nshinga, ko bibanda ahanini ku miterere y’Ubushinjacyaha, bakabushyira mu Butegetsi Nyubahirizategeko ariko bakibagirwa ko bunafatwa nk’igice cy’Ubutegetsi bw’Ubucamanza. Bavuga ko itandukaniro ry’imikurikiranire y’icyaha mu Rwanda no mu bindi bihugu, ari uko mu Rwanda igenzura ry’inyandiko z’isaka rikorwa n’inkiko nyuma y’isaka, mu gihe mu bindi bihugu urupapuro rw’isaka cyangwa urwo kumviriza itumanaho rushyirwaho umukono n’Umucamanza mbere y’uko rukoreshwa. Ubu buryo bwo mu bindi bihugu ntibwarutishwa ubukoreshwa n’u Rwanda bworoshya imikorere n’imikoranire hagati y’inzego.

Bakomeza bavuga ko inyandiko z’isaka zitangwa mu Rwanda zitagereranywa n’izitangwa mu bindi bihugu kubera ko izitangwa ari iz’agateganyo kuko ukurikiranyweho icyaha agomba guhita ashyikirizwa Urukiko kugira ngo rubifateho icyemezo. Ibi bivuze ko imiterere n’ububasha by’inzego z’ubutabera idatuma Umucamanza ava ku rukiko ngo ajye kugenza ibyaha, ko izo nshingano ari iz’Ubugenzacyaha n’Ubushinjacyaha, bityo ko n’ubwo uburyo u Rwanda rukoresha butaboneka mu bihugu byinshi aribwo bwiza kuko bukora neza, inzego zikuzuzanya kandi ko ntaho bubangamiye Itegeko Nshinga.

Leta y’u Rwanda kandi isobanura ko mu Rwanda inshingano zo gutanga urwandiko rw’isaka zimuriwe mu Nkiko byaba bizinjije mu iperereza mbere y’uko ziregerwa, ibi bikaba byaburizamo ubwigenge n’ukutabogama (independence and impatiality) zisanganywe.

Ku kijyanye n’isaka ryakorwa nta ruhushya, Abahagarariye Leta y’u Rwanda bavuga ko ibijyanye n’isaka nta ruhushya bitanyuranyije n’Itegeko Nshinga, haba mu ngingo yaryo ya 61 ndetse n’izindi zigaragazwa n’Urega mu mwanzuro we. Bavuga ko bidakwiye ko ingingo zaregewe zikurwaho kuko Itegeko Nshinga ubwaryo ryateganyije ayo mategeko mu ngingo zaryo za 23 na 43, kugira ngo azateganye ku buryo burambuye ibyo ryo ritashoboraga guteganya hanagendewe ku busumbane bw’amategeko.

Ku birebana no kuba ukurikiranyweho icyaha aba agifatwa nk’umwere, Abahagarariye Leta y’u Rwanda basobanura ko amategeko ateganya uburyo amakuru ajyanye n’imikorere y’icyaha atangwa, ko umuntu wese wisobanura ku cyaha abanza kumenyeshwa ibyo aregwa, akagaragarizwa ko arimo kubazwa, akamenyeshwa n’uburenganzira bwe harimo n’ubwo guceceka, kutishinja ndetse no kubazwa yunganiwe. Ibi bikaba bigaragaza iyubahirizwa ry’uburenganzira ku butabera buboneye buteganywa mu ngingo ya 29 y’Itegeko Nshinga. Bakomeza bavuga ko gutanga amakuru bitavuze kuyatangira imbere y’itangazamakuru cyangwa ko uyatanga agomba kuba ufunzwe, ahubwo ko icyangombwa ari uko mu gihe abajijwe amakuru ategetswe kuyatanga mu rwego rwo gufasha mu iperereza. Kuri iyi ngingo, basoza bavuga ko ntaho ingingo iregerwa iteganya ko ukekwaho icyaha agomba kwiregurira imbere y’itangazamakuru, ndetse ko nta n’indi ngingo y’Itegeko Urega agaragaza yaba ibiteganya ityo. Bityo, bakaba basaba Urukiko rw’Ikirenga ko icyifuzo cy’Urega cyo gutegeka inzego za Leta zifite aho zihurira n’iperereza kudashyira ukekwaho gukora icyaha mu itangazamakuru, rutagisuzuma ngo rugifateho icyemezo kuko bidafitanye isano n’icyaregewe.

[13]           Bavuga ko ingingo z’amategeko zimaze kuvugwa zinyuranyije n’ingingo ya 13, iya 14, iya 23, iya 24, iya 29, iya 43 n’iya 61 z’Itegeko Nshinga kuko isaka rivogera uburenganzira bwa muntu kubera ko mbere y’uko urupapuro rw’isaka rutangwa bidasuzumwa ngo byemezwe n’Ubutegetsi bw’Ubucamanza, nyamara aribwo ingingo ya 43[1] y’Itegeko Nshinga iha inshingano zo kurinda no kubahiriza uburenganzira ntavogerwa bwa muntu. Bavuga ko ingingo ya 3 y’Itegeko Nshinga ishyiraho ihame ry’ubusumbane bw’amategeko, Itegeko Nshinga rikaba ariryo riri hejuru y’ayandi mu gihugu, bivuze ko ingingo z’amategeko yaregeye nta gaciro zikwiye kugira kuko zinyuranyije n’Itegeko Nshinga.

[14]           Bavuga ko mu gihe hatangwa urupapuro rw’isaka (search warrant), mu gihe hasakwa nta rupapuro (warrantless search), cyangwa mu gihe hasakwa umuntu ku mubiri n’imbere mu mubiri, inyubako zituwemo n’ahakorerwa imirimo (residences or professional places of work), uburenganzira bw’ukekwaho icyaha, harimo n’ubwo gufatwa nk’umwere igihe cyose ataragihamywa n’Urukiko rubifitiye ububasha, bugomba kurindwa, kubahirizwa no kwitabwaho nk’uko biteganywa n’Itegeko Nshinga ndetse n’amasezerano mpuzamahanga atandukanye u Rwanda rwashyizeho umukono[2].

[15]           Basobanura ko Umushinjacyaha ayobora Umugenzacyaha, uyu nawe akayobora Polisi, nyuma bose bakayoborwa na Minisitiri w’Ubutabera cyangwa undi Minisitiri, ko icyemezo cy’isaka ryaba rikozwe hari urupapuro rw’isaka cyangwa ntarwo, iyo byihutirwa gifatwa n’Umushinjacyaha, uyu akongera akaba ari nawe ubaza ukekwaho icyaha, akaba ari nawe umufatira icyemezo cya nyuma ndetse akazaza no kumushinja mu Rukiko. Bavuga ko ibi bikorwa byose binyuranye n’ihame ryo kureshyeshya ababuranyi (equality of arms between parties) riteganywa n’ingingo ya 126 y’Itegeko rigena imiburanishirize y’imanza nshinjabyaha ndetse n’amahame akurikira ateganywa n’Itegeko Nshinga:

[16]           Basobanura ko mu Rwanda inzego z’ubutabera zubatse ku buryo buri rwego rw’Ubushinjacyaha rufite n’Urukiko ruri ku rwego rwarwo, ko rero inshingano zo gutanga urupapuro rw’isaka zakagombye gukorwa n’Urukiko ku busabe bw’Umushinjacyaha, Umugenzacyaha cyangwa Polisi, rugatangwa ari uko Umucamanza amaze kugaragarizwa impamvu zifatika kugira ngo abatazubahiriza imbibi zashyizweho n’Urukiko bazabibazwe. Kuri bo, uko bikorwa ubu bituma iyo uwatanze uruhushya rw’isaka ahutaje uburenganzira bw’ukekwaho icyaha habura umugenzura ngo amukebure cyangwa abimubaze, kuko atakwifatira ibihano we ubwe; ibyo rero bikaba binyuranyije n’ingingo ya 61 y’Itegeko Nshinga ivuga ko ubutegetsi uko ari butatu butandukanye, bwigenga ariko kandi bwuzuzanya.

[17]           Batanga urugero rw’uko mu bihe byashize, umuyoyobozi w’Akarere yakomatanyaga izo nshingano n’izo kuyobora Inama Njyanama bigatuma hatabaho kwigenzura no kwikebura (checks and balances) mu gihe yakoze amakosa. Basobanura ko no mu bikorera, umuyobozi w’inama y’ubutegetsi ataba n’umuyobozi mukuru w’ikigo cy’ubucuruzi.

[18]           Bavuga ko nubwo inshingano zo kurinda umutekano, ubusugire bw’Igihugu, gukumira ndetse no kugenza ibyaha ari ingenzi kandi inzego zibishinzwe zikaba zikeneye ubufasha n’ubushobozi bwo gukora izo nshingano, uburyo zishyirwa mu bikorwa bigomba kubahiriza ibiteganywa n’Itegeko Nshinga. Basobanura ko ku bijyanye n’uru rubanza, bigaragara ko iyo ingingo ya 24, iya 41 n’iya 43 z’Itegeko Nshinga zisomewe hamwe, zumvikanisha ko Ubutegetsi bw’Ubucamanza ari bwo bufite inshingano n’ububasha bwo gusuzuma no kwemeza ko hari impamvu zifatika kandi zikomeye zatuma abashinzwe gukumira no kurwanya ibyaha bavogera uburenganzira bwa muntu ku bw’ituze rya rubanda n’inyungu rusange.

[19]           Bakomeza bavuga ko uburenganzira buteganywa mu ngingo ya 41[3] n’iya 43[4] z’Itegeko Nshinga buhagarikwa gusa n’ibihe bidasanzwe, nabyo byemezwa hagendewe ku ihame ry’igihugu kigendera kuri demokarasi, ari nayo mpamvu bigomba gukorwa n’Urwego rw’Ubucamanza. Basanga ibikorwa by’isaka, kumviriza, kuvogera, kugenzura, gusaka ku mubiri no mu mubiri, gusaka mu rugo, ahakorerwa imirimo, ubucuruzi n’ibindi bikorwa byose bivugwa mu ngingo z’amategeko zaregewe, cyane cyane iyo bikozwe n’urwego Itegeko Nshinga ritagennye, bihagarika by’agateganyo uburenganzira bw’ukurikiranyweho icyaha busanzwe burengerwa n’ingingo ya 23[5] y’Itegeko Nshinga, ndetse bikavogera imibereho ye bwite n’iy’umuryango; ariyo mpamvu ingingo zaregewe ko zinyuranyije n’Itegeko Nshinga zigomba kuvanwaho.

[20]           Bavuga ko Umucamanza Mbuyeseli Madlanga wo mu Rukiko rushinzwe kurinda Itegeko Nshinga muri Afurika y’Epfo, mu rubanza rwa “Ngqukumba v Minister of Safety and security and Others ([2014] ZACC 14)”, yasobanuye ko nubwo hagomba kubahirizwa ingamba zo kurengera umutekano no kurwanya ibyaha, abakora isaka batemerewe kubangamira uburenganzira ku mibereho bwite y’umuntu n’iy’umuryango we.

Basanga hashingiwe ku biteganywa n’ingingo ya 43 y’Itegeko Nshinga, inkiko z’u Rwanda arizo zajya zitanga inyandiko y’isaka kuko zidafite aho zibogamiye.

[22]           Basobanura ko iyo ibikorwa by’isaka bikomeje hatarengewe uburenganzira bwa muntu nk’umunyagitinyiro bishobora guhungabanya uwabikorewe n’umuryango we, kuko mu Rwanda abantu bafata ibintu uko biboneye batitaye ku kumenya impamvu zabyo, ku buryo iyo habaye isaka, abavandimwe, umuryango, abaturanyi na rubanda bafata uwasatswe nk’uwahamwe n’icyaha, we n’umuryango we bagashyirwa mu kato ku buryo byabahungabanya. Bavuga ko gutanga urupapuro rw’isaka bidakwiye gufatwa nk’umuhango kuko ubwarwo ari igikorwa cy’ingenzi mu butabera, ko bifashwe nk’umuhango abacamanza bakajya barusinya gusa hanyuma Ubushinjacyaha bukiyuzurizaho ibyo bushaka nk’uko bimeze mu bihugu bimwe na bimwe byatanzweho urugero na Leta y’u Rwanda, byaba bitakiri ubutabera, kuko ubutabera bugomba kureberwa ku ruhande rw’urega n’urw’uregwa.

[23]           Bavuga ko kuba isaka rikorwa n’Umugenzacyaha cyangwa Umushinjacyaha bifite imbogamizi z’uko bashobora kuzimangatanya ibimenyetso byari kuzarengera ukekwaho icyaha, ariyo mpamvu inyandiko y’isaka igomba gutangwa n’Urukiko rumaze kugaragarizwa ibigiye gusakwa. Ibi babishingira ku kuba inshingano z’Ubushinjacyaha n’Ubugenzacyaha ari ugukora iperereza, izi nzego rero akaba atarizo zari zikwiye gufata icyemezo cyo gusaka kuko atari inshingano zazo, ko ahubwo izo nshingano ari iz’Urwego rw’Ubucamanza.

[24]           Bavuga ko icyo basaba atari ugukuraho igikorwa cy’isaka cyangwa kwambura Ubushinjacyaha inshingano zabwo nk’uko ziteganywa n’ingingo ya 142 y’Itegeko Nshinga, ahubwo ari ukugira ngo urwandiko rw’isaka rugire aho rutangirira n’aho rugarukira kubera ko uburyo isaka rikorwamo binyuranyije n’ibiteganywa n’Itegeko Nshinga. Basaba uru Rukiko gukumira amakosa ashobora gukorwa n’Ubushinjacyaha n’Ubugenzacyaha, rukemeza ko amategeko agenga isaka yubahiriza amahame ateganywa n’Itegeko Nshinga, isaka rikajya rikorwa cyangwa ritangirwa uruhushya n’Inkiko nk’urwego rudafite aho rubogamiye.

[25]            Ikindi Murangwa Edward n’abamwunganira bavuga, ni ukuba ingingo ya 10, igika cya mbere, agace ka 8, y’Itegeko N° 12/2017 ryo ku wa 07/04/2017 ryavuzwe haruguru, ariyo Ubugenzacyaha bushingiraho bugashyira ukekwaho icyaha mu itangazamakuru ngo agire ibyo aritangariza, nyamara ingingo ya 29, igika cya 2, y’Itegeko Nshinga iteganya ko ukurikiranyweho icyaha afatwa nk’umwere igihe cyose urubanza rutaramwemeza icyaha burundu.

[26]           Bavuga ko mu rwego rwo gushyira mu bikorwa ingingo ya 29 y’Itegeko Nshinga, ingingo ya 73 y’Itegeko Nº 027/2019 ryo ku wa 19/09/2019 ryerekeye imiburanishirize y’imanza z’inshinjabyaha yateganyije ko iperereza rikorwa mu ibanga; naho iya 107, igika cya 2, y’iryo Tegeko igateganya ko ukurikiranyweho icyaha akomeza kuba umwere igihe ataracirirwa urubanza rwa burundu rumuhamya icyaha, kandi ko muri icyo gihe nta nshingano afite zo gutanga ibimenyetso byo kwiregura. Basanga kandi guhatira ukurikiranyweho icyaha kuvugana n’itangazamakuru bibangamiye ihame ry’uko ntawutegetswe kwishinja icyaha kuko Ubugenzacyaha n’Ubushinjacyaha arizo nzego zifite inshingano zo kugenza ibyaha, kubishakira ibimenyetso ndetse no kubishinja.

[27]           Basobanura ko uburenganzira ku butabera buboneye budatangirira imbere y’Urukiko, ko ahubwo butangira umuntu agitangira gukurikiranwa n’inzego z’ubutabera cyangwa agifatwa; ko rero umuntu ataba afatwa nk’umwere igihe icyaha kitaramuhama, ngo ahatirwe gutanga amakuru ku mikorere yacyo mu itangazamakuru. Bavuga ko Urwego rw’Ubugenzacyaha rukunze kwitwaza ingingo ya 10, igika cya mbere, agace ka 8, y’Itegeko N° 12/2017 ryo ku wa 07/04/2017 ryavuzwe haruguru rugashyira abakekwaho icyaha imbere y’itangazamakuru harimo na televiziyo zo kuri youtube, bakabazwa ku mikorere y’ibyaha bakekwaho bambaye amapingu cyangwa bahambiriye. Bavuga ko iyi migirire ituma itangazamakuru rihinduka nk’Urukiko n’imyumvire ya rubanda ikaba yagira ingaruka ku cyerekezo cy’Urukiko mu gihe cyo guca urubanza.

[28]           Bakomeza bavuga ko ingingo ya 10, igika cya mbere, agace ka 8, y’Itegeko N° 12/2017 ryo ku wa 07/04/2017 ryavuzwe haruguru irimo ibirenze ibikenewe kuko, uretse kuba amagambo kubaza umuntu uwo ari we wese ukekwaho ko afite amakuru yafasha mu iperereza anyuranyije n’ihame ry’uburenganzira ku butabera buboneye, mu magambo “umuntu uwo ari we wese harimo n’ukekwaho icyaha ndetse n’Urukiko ku buryo umuntu yasabwa kwishinja icyaha cyangwa Urukiko akaba arirwo rusabwa amakuru ku muntu rufitiye dosiye.

[31]           Basoza basaba Urukiko gushingira ku biteganywa n’ingingo ya 3 y’Itegeko Nshinga ivuga ko ingingo z’amategeko zinyuranyije naryo nta gaciro zigira, rukemeza ko ingingo ya 10, agace ka 3, a,b na c ndetse n’agace ka 5, aka 7 n’aka 8 y’Itegeko N° 12/2017 ryo ku wa 07/04/2017 rishyiraho Urwego rw’Igihugu rushinzwe Ubugenzacyaha rikanagena inshingano, ububasha, imitunganyirize n’imikorere byarwo; n’ingingo ya 38, iya 55, iya 56, iya 57, iya 60, iya 61 n’iya 70 z’Itegeko N° 027/2019 ryo ku wa 19/09/2019 ryerekeye imiburanishirize y’imanza z’inshinjabyaha, zinyuranyije n’ingingo ya 13, iya 14, iya 23, iya 24, iya 29, iya 43 n’iya 61 z’Itegeko Nshinga, bityo ko nta gaciro zifite, rukazivanaho zose cyangwa bimwe mu bice byazo bikavanwaho.

[32]           Me Kabibi Spéçiose na Me Kayitesi Petronille bahagarariye Leta y’u Rwanda bavuga ko Murangwa Edward n’abamwunganira ntaho bagaragaza ko ingingo baregera zinyuranyije n’Itegeko Nshinga, ko bibanda ahanini ku miterere y’Ubushinjacyaha, bakabushyira mu Butegetsi Nyubahirizategeko ariko bakibagirwa ko bunafatwa nk’igice cy’Ubutegetsi bw’Ubucamanza. Bavuga ko kuba amategeko y’u Rwanda aha Ubushinjacyaha umwihariko wo gufata ibyemezo by’agateganyo bituma habaho ubwizerane n’ubwuzuzanye hagati y’Ubushinjacyaha n’Ubucamanza ku bijyanye n’ikurikiranacyaha.

[33]           Bavuga ko itandukaniro ry’imikurikiranire y’icyaha mu Rwanda no mu bindi bihugu, ari uko mu Rwanda igenzura ry’inyandiko z’isaka rikorwa n’inkiko nyuma y’isaka (contrôle a posteriori), mu gihe mu bihugu nka Leta Zunze Ubumwe za Amerika, Ubwongereza, Ubufaransa, Ububiligi na Kameruni[12], urupapuro rw’isaka cyangwa urwo kumviriza itumanaho rushyirwaho umukono n’Umucamanza mbere y’uko rukoreshwa, ariko ko n’ubundi byagaragaye ko muri ibyo bihugu Urukiko rudashobora kwima Ubushinjacyaha izo mpapuro, ko hari n’aho Umucamanza asinya ku rupapuro noneho Ubushinjacyaha bukiyuzuriza andi makuru uko bubyifuza, ibintu bituma uruhare rw’Urukiko rufatwa nk’umuhango. Basanga uburyo bwa contrôle a priori bukoreshwa mu bihugu bimaze kuvugwa haruguru butarutishwa ubukoreshwa n’u Rwanda bworoshya imikorere n’imikoranire hagati y’inzego.

[34]           Bavuga ko inyandiko z’isaka zitangwa mu Rwanda zitagereranywa n’izitangwa mu bindi bihugu kubera ko izitangwa mu Rwanda ari iz’agateganyo, bitewe n’uko nyuma yazo ukurikiranyweho icyaha agomba gushyikirizwa Urukiko vuba bishoboka kugira ngo nk’urwego rushinzwe kurinda uburenganzira n’ubwisanzure bwa muntu rubifateho icyemezo, ko ari n’uko bigenda ku byafatiriwe. Basobanura ko imiterere n’ububasha by’inzego z’ubutabera idatuma Umucamanza ava ku rukiko ngo ajye kugenza ibyaha, ko izo nshingano ari iz’Ubugenzacyaha n’Ubushinjacyaha, bityo ko n’ubwo uburyo u Rwanda rukoresha butaboneka mu bihugu byinshi aribwo bwiza kuko bukora neza, inzego zikuzuzanya kandi ko ntaho bubangamiye Itegeko Nshinga.

[35]           Naho ku bijyanye n’iby’uko urwego rubarizwa mu Butegetsi Nyubahirizategeko rutakora ibikorwa bifatwa nk’iby’Ubutegetsi bw’Ubucamanza (judicial acts), bavuga ko mu ngingo ya 61 y’Itegeko Nshinga, u Rwanda n’Abanyarwanda bahisemo uburyo inzego z’ubutegetsi zikorana zikanuzuzanya, buri rwego mu bwigenge bwarwo. Basobanura ko kuba mu bihugu byavuzwe haruguru, Umucamanza ari we ushyira umukono ku mpapuro zitangiza ikurikiranacyaha bidakuraho ko muri ibyo bihugu byose Umushinjacyaha Mukuru ari we ugena ikurikiranwa ry’uwakoze icyaha[13], ko mu Rwanda inshingano zo gutanga urwandiko rw’isaka zimuriwe mu Nkiko byaba bizinjije mu iperereza mbere y’uko ziregerwa, ibi bikaba byaburizamo ubwigenge n’ukutabogama (independence and impatiality) zisanganywe.

[36]           Bavuga ko urubanza Johnson yaburanaga na Leta Zunze Ubumwe za Amerika n’urwo Katz yaburanaga na Leta Zunze Ubumwe za Amerika Murangwa Edward ashingiraho, zigarukira gusa ku kugaragaza ahagiye gusakwa n’igihe icyo gikorwa kiri bumare, ko ntaho zivuga ku muntu nyakuri ugiye gusakwa cyangwa niba koko ahagiye gusakwa hari ibimenyetso bifatika, ko kandi ibi byatewe n’uko inkiko zasanze inzego zishinzwe iperereza ziba zifitiwe icyizere ndetse hari n’uburyo inkiko zishobora gusuzumira mu rubanza ikitaragenze neza. Basobanura ko nta nyungu bwite Ubushinjacyaha buba bufite mu iperereza, ko inyungu zabwo ari ukugaragaza uburyo icyaha cyakozwe, kandi ko iyi ari inyungu rusange, ariyo mpamvu umukozi wese ushinzwe iperereza agomba gufatwa nk’indakemwa mu gihe ari mu mirimo ye.

[37]           Basanga nta mpamvu zo kwimurira mu bucamanza inshingano z’iperereza, ahubwo ko inkiko zigomba kugumana ububasha bwo kugenzura niba ibyakozwe byarubahirije amategeko ku buryo n’ukekwaho icyaha uvuga ko yahungabanye ahabwa umwanya wo kubigaragariza ibimenyetso. Bavuga ko mu bihugu bimwe aho urwandiko rw’isaka rutangwa n’Urukiko, haba hari “Juge d’Instruction” na “Juge de Détention”, aba bakaba batandukanye n’abacamanza basanzwe. Kuri bo, inshingano z’iperereza zihawe abacamanza byaba bivuze ko Ubushinjacyaha n’inkiko bigiye kujya bikora ikintu kimwe, ibi bikaba byakongera imanza n’ibirarane mu Nkiko ndetse hakabaho no gusesagura umutungo wa Leta.

[38]           Bavuga ko iyo ingingo ya 23, igika cya gatatu, n’ingingo ya 43 z’Itegeko Nshinga zisomewe hamwe, zumvikanisha ko zafunguriye andi mategeko kuba yagena uburyo inyandiko zitandukanye zikoreshwa mu isaka cyangwa kumviriza ukurikiranyweho icyaha zitangwamo. By’umwihariko ingingo ya 23, igika cya 2, y’Itegeko Nshinga iteganya ko hadashobora gukorwa isakwa mu rugo cyangwa kurwinjiramo kubera impamvu z’igenzura nyirarwo atabyemeye, keretse mu bihe no mu buryo biteganyijwe n’amategeko, uyu murongo ukaba ari wo washyizwe mu buryo burambuye mu ngingo ya 38 y’Itegeko N° 027/2019 ryo ku wa 19/09/2019 ryerekeye imiburanishirize y’imanza z’inshinjabyaha igira iti: mu iperereza n’ikurikiranacyaha, iyo kugira ngo ukuri ku byaha bifitanye isano n’umutekano w’Igihugu, ibyaha bya ruswa n’ibyaha byo kunyereza umutungo wa Leta bikurikiranywe kugaragare, abayobozi b’inzego za Leta zishinzwe umutekano ziteganywa n’Itegeko Nshinga, Urwego rw’Umuvunyi n’Urwego rw’Igihugu rushinzwe Ubugenzacyaha, bashobora, babiherewe uruhushya rwanditswe n’Umushinjacyaha Mukuru, kumva, kumenya no gufata mu majwi cyangwa mu mashusho inyandiko, interineti, ibiganiro, telegaramu, amakarita y’iposita, itumanaho ry’ubuhanga buhanitse n’ubundi buryo bwose bwo gutumanaho kuri ibyo byaha igihe itumanaho ririmo gukorwa.

[39]           Bavuga kandi ko ingingo ya 55[14], iya 56[15] n’iya 57[16] z’Itegeko N° 027/2019 ryo ku wa 19/09/2019 ryerekeye imiburanishirize y’imanza z’inshinjabyaha, zatanze ububasha ku nzego bireba ndetse ziteganya uburyo zizakora n’ibihe zizabukoresha nta guhungabanya uburenganzira n’ubwisanzure bwa muntu bibayeho. Basanga ingingo ya 23 n’iya 43 z’Itegeko Nshinga zarahaye Umushingamategeko inshingano zo gushyiraho Itegeko N° 12/2017 ryo ku wa 07/04/2017 rishyiraho Urwego rw’Igihugu rushinzwe Ubugenzacyaha rikanagena inshingano, ububasha, imitunganyirize n’imikorere byarwo, n’Itegeko N^o 027/2019 ryo ku wa 19/09/2019 ryerekeye imiburanishirize y’imanza z’inshinjabyaha, kugira ngo aya mategeko yombi agene ibindi bizakorwa mu buryo butateganyijwe n’Itegeko Nshinga, kubera ko Itegeko Nshinga ritarondora ibikenewe byose.

[40]           Bakomeza bavuga ko ingingo ya 142 y’Itegeko Nshinga iteganya ko Ubushinjacyaha bushinzwe gukora iperereza no gukurikirana ibyaha mu gihugu hose bushaka ibimenyetso bishinja ndetse n’ibishinjura, bityo ko kuba isaka ari kimwe mu bikorwa by’iperereza rikorwa hagamijwe gushaka ibimenyetso, byumvikana ko Itegeko Nshinga ryabishyize mu bubasha bw’Ubushinjacyaha.

[41]           Ku bijyanye n’isaka nta ruhushya, bavuga ko kuba Ubugenzacyaha cyangwa Ubushinjacyaha bwakora isaka nta ruhushya rw’isaka rwatanzwe kandi bigakorwa mu bihe biteganywa n’itegeko, cyane cyane mu ngingo ya 10, agace ka 3, a, b na c, y’Itegeko N° 12/2017 ryo ku wa 07/04/2017 rishyiraho Urwego rw’Igihugu rushinzwe Ubugenzacyaha rikanagena inshingano, ububasha, imitunganyirize n’imikorere byarwo, ndetse n’iya 55 y’Itegeko N° 027/2019 ryo ku wa 19/09/2019 ryerekeye imiburanishirize y’imanza z’inshinjabyaha, atari umwihariko w’u Rwanda, ahubwo binakorwa no mu bindi bihugu. Batanga urugero rw’ingingo ya 22[17] y’Itegeko rya Afurika y’Epfo rigenga ikurikiranacyaha.

[42]           Abahagarariye Leta y’u Rwanda basanga ibijyanye n’isaka nta ruhushya bitanyuranyije n’Itegeko Nshinga, haba mu ngingo yaryo ya 61 ndetse n’izindi zigaragazwa n’urega mu mwanzuro we. Basoza bavuga ko bidakwiye ko ingingo zaregewe zikurwaho, kuko Itegeko Nshinga ubwaryo ryateganyije ayo mategeko mu ngingo zaryo za 23 na 43, kugira ngo azateganye ku buryo burambuye ibyo ryo ritashoboraga guteganya hanagendewe ku busumbane bw’amategeko. Bavuga kandi ko hashingiwe ku biteganywa n’Itegeko Nshinga, cyane cyane mu ngingo yaryo ya 61, uruhare rw’Umucamanza mu gutanga inyandiko (warrants) rutasimbujwe, ahubwo Ubucamanza bworoherejwe akazi muri bwa budasa mu mikorere y’inzego z’ubutegetsi bw’u Rwanda yo gukora mu bwigenge n’ubwuzuzanye, ndetse ko mu bihugu bimwe na bimwe byateye imbere uru ruhushya rwo gusaka atari ngombwa, mu gihe mu bindi bihugu rutangwa n’Umucamanza bitewe n’uburyo itegeko ribigenga riteye.

[43]           Ku byerekeye ibiteganywa n’ingingo ya 10, igika cya mbere, agace ka 8°, y’Itegeko N° 12/2017 ryo ku wa 07/04/2017 rishyiraho Urwego rw’Igihugu rushinzwe Ubugenzacyaha, rikanagena inshingano, ububasha, imitunganyirize n’imikorere byarwo, abahagarariye Leta y’u Rwanda bavuga ko Murangwa Edward n’abamwunganira bayivugisha ibyo itavuga, kuko ntaho ivuga ko ukurikiranyweho icyaha ari we uhatirwa gutanga amakuru, ahubwo ko ivuga umuntu uwo ari we wese, ibyo bikaba bivuze undi muntu utari ukurikiranweho icyaha, bishaka kumvikanisha ko uwo muntu ari umutangabuhamya ubungezacyaha bukeka ko afite amakuru yabufasha mu iperereza.

[44]           Bavuga ko bemeranywa na Murangwa Edward ko umuntu wese ukurikiranweho icyaha akomeza gufatwa nk’umwere kugeza igihe Urukiko rubifitiye ububasha rumuhamije icyaha, ariko ko umuntu uri imbere y’Urukiko akwiye gutandukanywa n’ukiri mu nzego z’iperereza aho ibimenyetso biba bicyegeranywa; bakaba basanga rero ingingo ya 29 y’Itegeko Nshinga yerekeye ubutabera buboneye ishyiraho amahame agomba kubahirizwa mu gihe cy’iburanisha gusa, bityo ikaba idakwiye gushingirwaho mu gihe cy’iperereza.

i) Ku bijyanye n’ isaka rishingiye ku ruhushya rw’isaka

[51]           Ingingo ya 10, igika cya mbere, igice cya mbere cy’agace ka gatatu, y’Itegeko N° 12/2017 ryo ku wa 07/04/2017 rishyiraho Urwego rw’Igihugu rushinzwe Ubugenzacyaha rikanagena inshingano, ububasha, imitunganyirize n’imikorere byarwo iteganya ko hakurikijwe amategeko abigenga, RIB (Rwanda Investigation Bureau) ifite ububasha bukurikira: […] gusaka umuntu, kwinjira mu nyubako cyangwa ahantu hakekwaho kuba hafitanye isano n’amakuru ashakwa hashingiwe ku ruhushya rwo gusaka […].

[52]           Ingingo ya 55, igika cya mbere n’icya kabiri, y’Itegeko N° 027/2019 ryo ku wa 19/09/2019 ryerekeye imiburanishirize y’imanza z’inshinjabyaha iteganya ko Umugenzacyaha mu gihe asanga ibimenyetso akeneye bigizwe n’impapuro, inyandiko n’ibindi bintu bibitswe n’ukekwaho icyaha cyangwa se undi wese, ashobora kujya gusaka aho biherereye yitwaje uruhushya rwo gusaka ahabwa n’Ubushinjacyaha. Umushinjacyaha ushinzwe gutegura dosiye y’urubanza ashobora nawe kujya gusaka aho icyaha cyakorewe cyangwa ahandi hantu hose hashobora kuboneka ibimenyetso byatuma ukuri kujya ahagaragara. Umushinjacyaha ashobora gushinga iyo mirimo Umugenzacyaha.

[53]           Ingingo ya 61 y’Itegeko N° 027/2019 ryo ku wa 19/09/2019 rimaze kuvugwa iteganya ko urwandiko rwo gusaka ari icyemezo gitangwa n’Umushinjacyaha bitangiwe uruhushya n’aba bakurikira:

5^o Umushinjacyaha ku Rwego rw’Ibanze.

Urwandiko ruvugwa mu gika cya mbere cy’iyi ngingo ruha ugomba kugishyira mu bikorwa uburenganzira bwo kujya ahantu hagenwe mu rwandiko, kugira ngo abe yatahura ibimenyetso cyangwa ibintu byagaragaza ukuri kw’icyaha n’ugikekwaho.

[54]           Urukiko rurasanga itegeko ubwaryo ridasobanura isaka icyo ari cyo. Abahanga mu mategeko yerekeye imiburanishirize y’imanza nshinjabyaha bavuga ko isaka ari uburyo urwego rubifitiye ububasha rukoresha imbaraga rukinjira mu nyubako cyangwa inkengero zayo, hubahirijwe uburyo buteganywa ndetse n’ibisabwa n’amategeko, kugira ngo hagaragazwe ikorwa ry’icyaha, hakusanywe ibimenyetso by’ikorwa ry’icyaha, hagire ibifatirwa cyangwa hafatwe abakekwaho icyaha cyangwa ibyitso byabo[18]. Basobanura ko isaka rikorwa iyo hari impamvu zifatika zituma habaho gukeka ko hari ikintu gifitwe n’umuntu runaka cyangwa giherereye ahantu runaka kandi gishobora kugaragaza ukuri mu rubanza nshinjabyaha[19].

[55]           Impamvu zifatika zituma habaho isaka (reasonable grounds/probable cause) zibaho iyo inzego zibifitiye ububasha, mu bwitonzi n’ubushishozi bwazo, zabonye amakuru yizewe yatuma zikeka ko hari ibimenyetso bijyanye n’ikorwa ry’icyaha byagaragazwa n’uko hakozwe isaka[20]. Mu yandi magambo, isaka rikorwa hagamijwe gushaka cyangwa kuzuza ibimenyetso mu rubanza nshinjabyaha. Ni igikorwa cy’iperereza, ibyo bikaba binemezwa n’umuhanga Michel Franchimont[21].

[56]           Ingingo z’amategeko zavuzwe haruguru zumvikanisha ko igikorwa cyo gusaka nk’uko kimaze gusobanurwa, kiyoborwa n’Umugenzacyaha cyangwa Umushinjacyaha ariko hashingiwe ku ruhushya rw’isaka rwatanzwe n’Ubuyobozi bw’Ubushinjacyaha. Murangwa Edward yemera ko isaka rigomba gukorwa n’Ubugenzacyaha cyangwa n’Ubushinjacyaha; icyo atemera, ari naho hashingiye ikirego cye, ni ukuba uruhushya rw’isaka rutangwa n’Ubushinjacyaha aho gutangwa n’Urukiko. Asobanura ko kuba uruhushya rw’isaka rudatangwa n’Urukiko bituma ingingo z’amategeko yaregeye zinyuranya n’ingingo ya 13, iya 14, iya 23, iya 24, iya 29, iya 43 n’iya 61 z’Itegeko Nshinga.

[57]           Urukiko rurasanga nubwo Murangwa Edward afatira hamwe izi ngingo z’Itegeko Nshinga, ziri mu byiciro bitandukanye:

By’umwihariko, ingingo ya 13 n’iya 14 zishyiraho uburenganzira bwo kudahungabanywa k’umuntu haba mu mutwe cyangwa ku mubiri. Ingingo ya 13 y’Itegeko Nshinga igira iti: umuntu ni umunyagitinyiro kandi ni indahungabanywa. Leta ifite inshingano zo kumwubaha, kumurinda no kumurengera. Naho ingingo ya 14 ikagira iti: umuntu wese afite uburenganzira bwo kudahungabanywa ku mubiri no mu mutwe. Ntawe ushobora kwicwa urubozo, gukorerwa ibibabaza umubiri cyangwa ngo akorerwe ibikorwa by’ubugome, ibikorwa bidakwiye umuntu cyangwa bimutesha agaciro. Ntawe ushobora gukorerwaho igerageza atabyiyemereye. Uburyo bwo kubyemera kimwe n’ubw’iryo gerageza bugenwa n’Itegeko.

[59]           Ingingo ya 23 n’iya 24 igika cya mbere z’Itegeko Nshinga, zivuga ku burenganzira ku mibereho bwite, ubwisanzure n’umutekano bya muntu. Ingingo ya 23 igira iti: imibereho bwite y’umuntu, iy’umuryango we, urugo rwe cyangwa ubutumwa yohererezanya n’abandi ntibishobora kuvogerwa mu buryo bunyuranyije n’amategeko; icyubahiro n’agaciro ke bigomba kubahirizwa.

Ibanga ry’amabaruwa n’iry’itumanaho ntirishobora kuzitirwa keretse mu bihe no mu buryo biteganywa n’amategeko. Naho ingingo ya 24, igika cya mbere ivuga ko ubwisanzure n’umutekano bya muntu byubahirizwa na Leta...

[60]           Ingingo ya 24, igika cya kabiri n’icya gatatu, ndetse n’ingingo ya 29 y’Itegeko Nshinga zishyiraho ihame ry’ubutabera buboneye. Ingingo ya 24, igika cya kabiri n’icya gatatu igira iti: ntawe ushobora gukurikiranwa, gufatwa, gufungwa cyangwa guhanirwa icyaha keretse mu gihe biteganywa n’amategeko akurikizwa mu gihe icyaha akurikiranweho cyakorewe. Ntawe ushobora gukorerwa igenzurwa keretse mu bihe no mu buryo buteganyijwe n’Itegeko kandi kubera impamvu zishingiye ku ituze rusange rya rubanda cyangwa ku mutekano w’igihugu.

[61]           Ingingo ya 29 y’Itegeko Nshinga iteganya ko buri muntu wese afite uburenganzira ku butabera buboneye, burimo uburenganzira bwo:

1° Kumenyeshwa imiterere n’impamvu z’icyaha akurikiranweho, kwiregura no kunganirwa;

2° Gufatwa nk’umwere kugeza igihe Urukiko rubifitiye ububasha rumuhamije icyaha;

3° Kuburanira imbere y’Urukiko rubifitiye ububasha;

4° Kudakurikiranwa, kudafatwa, kudafungwa cyangwa kudahanirwa ibyo yakoze cyangwa atakoze, iyo amategeko y’Igihugu cyangwa amategeko mpuzamahanga atabifataga nk’icyaha igihe byakorwaga. Ibyaha n’ibihano bijyanye nabyo biteganywa n’amategeko.

5° kutaryozwa icyaha atakoze; uburyozwacyaha ni gatozi ku wakoze icyaha; […]

[62]           Ingingo ya 43 y’Itegeko Nshinga yo iri mu cyiciro cyo guteza imbere no kurinda uburenganzira n’ubwisanzure bwa muntu, igira iti: ubutegetsi bw’Ubucamanza nibwo murinzi w’uburenganzira n’ubwisanzure bwa muntu. Iyo nshingano yubahirizwa mu buryo buteganywa n’iri Tegeko Nshinga n’andi mategeko. Naho ingingo ya 61, igika cya mbere n’icya kabiri, y’Itegeko Nshinga iri mu cyiciro cy’Inzego z’Ubutegetsi bwa Leta, igira iti: inzego z’Ubutegetsi bwa Leta ni izi zikurikira:

1° Ubutegetsi Nshingamategeko;

2° Ubutegetsi Nyubahirizategeko;

3° Ubutegetsi bw’Ubucamanza

Ubu butegetsi uko ari butatu buratandukanye kandi buri butegetsi burigenga, ariko bwose bukuzuzanya […].

[63]           Urukiko rusanga ahari ipfundo ry’ikibazo, ari ukumenya niba kuba uruhushya rw’isaka rudatangwa n’Urukiko ahubwo rugatangwa n’Ubushinjacyaha, byaba binyuranyije na zimwe cyangwa ingingo zose z’Itegeko Nshinga zavuzwe haruguru nk’uko Murangwa Edward abivuga.

[64]           Iyo icyaha gikozwe, inzego zibishinzwe ziba zigomba kwihutira gushaka no kwegeranya ibimenyetso byafasha gutahura uwagikoze. Muri uko gushaka no kwegeranya ibimenyetso, hakenerwa gukora isaka ahantu hose hakekwa ko byaboneka harimo aho abantu batuye, aho bakorera, n’ahandi. Ni igikorwa kiba kigomba kuba mu buryo bwihuse, kugirango hatabaho kurigisa cyangwa kwangiza ibimenyetso.

[65]           Ingingo ya 23 y’Itegeko Nshinga ibuza kuvogera umuntu, mu buryo bunyuranyije n’amategeko, mu mibereho ye bwite, iy’umuryango we, urugo rwe, no mu butumwa yohererezanya n’abandi. Iyi ngingo yemera ariko ko hashobora kubaho isakwa mu bihe no mu buryo buteganywa n’itegeko. Ingingo ya 24 y’Itegeko Nshinga yongeraho ko igenzurwa (mesures de sûreté) rishobora kubaho mu bihe no mu buryo buteganyijwe n’Itegeko kandi kubera impamvu zishingiye ku ituze rusange rya rubanda cyangwa ku mutekano w’igihugu. Ibi bivuze ko ihame ryo kutavogerwa riteganywa n’izi ngingo atari ndakuka (absolu), ahubwo rifite imbibi rigarukiraho (limitations), ariko gusa mu bihe no mu buryo bugenwa n’itegeko. Izi ngingo kandi ntiziha ububasha bwo gusaka urwego runaka, cyangwa ngo zigene uburyo isaka rigomba gukorwamo, ahubwo ziha itegeko ububasha bwo kubigena.

[66]           Mu rwego rwo gushyira mu bikorwa ibiteganyijwe mu ngingo za 23 na 24 zimaze kuvugwa, hashyizweho Itegeko N° 12/2017 ryo ku wa 07/04/2017 rishyiraho Urwego rw’Igihugu rushinzwe Ubugenzacyaha rikanagena inshingano, ububasha, imitunganyirize n’imikorere byarwo, ndetse n’Itegeko N° 027/2019 ryo ku wa 19/09/2019 ryerekeye imiburanishirize y’imanza z’inshinjabyaha. Muri aya mategeko yombi, Umushingamategeko yasobanuye uburyo isaka rigomba gukorwamo, aha n’ububasha bwo gusaka inzego zishinzwe iperereza, ni ukuvuga Ubugenzacyaha n’Ubushinjacyaha hashingiwe ku biteganywa mu ngingo ya 9,2^o y’ Itegeko N° 12/2017 ryo ku wa 07/04/2017[22]; n’ingingo ya 17, igika cya 1 n’icya 2, y’Itegeko N° 027/2019 ryo ku wa 19/09/2019[23].

[67]           Ubushinjacyaha nk’urwego rukuriye igikorwa cy’iperereza, nibwo itegeko ryahaye ububasha bwo gutanga uruhushya rwo gusaka. Mu bihugu uruhushya rwo gusaka rutangwa n’Umucamanza, hari ibigira Umucamanza wihariye uba ushinzwe gukora iperereza no gukurikirana ibikorwa by’iperereza bita “juge d’instruction”, ukora ku madosiye aba yashyikirijwe n’Ubushinjacyaha. Uyu mucamanza ntajya mu iburanisha, kugirango hatabaho kubangikanya imirimo yo gukurikirana ibyaha no kubiburanisha, itagomba ubundi kubangikanywa. Urugero rw’ibyo bihugu ni nk’Ubwami bw’Ububiligi, Ubufaransa, Kameruni n’ibindi.

[68]           Mu Bwami bw’Ububiligi, “juge d’instruction” nawe ubwe ashobora gusaka abisabwe cyangwa abyibwirije inyubako y’ukekwaho icyaha cyangwa ahandi hantu aho ariho hose kugira ngo afatire impapuro cyangwa ibindi ibintu byatuma hagaragazwa ukuri[24]. Ni ukuvuga ko muri icyo gikorwa juge d’instruction ari urwego rw’iperereza. Ibi ni nako bimeze mu Bufaransa, aho juge d’instruction akora cyangwa agakurikirana ibikorwa byose bijyanye n’iperereza (birimo n’igikorwa cyo gusaka)[25].

 

 

 

[69]           Mu gihugu cya Kameruni, inyandiko y’isaka ishobora gutangwa n’Umushinjacyaha cyangwa na juge d’instruction[26], uyu akaba ashobora no gukora isaka ubwe[27]. Mu Bwami bw’Ububiligi naho Umushinjacyaha ashobora gusaka atagombye guhabwa uruhushya na juge d’instruction, igihe habayeho gufatirwa mu cyuho[28].

[70]           Hari ibindi bihugu uruhushya rw’isaka rutangwa n’Urukiko, nko muri Afurika y’Epfo, muri Leta Zunze Ubumwe za Amerika, mu Bwongereza[29], muri Canada n’ahandi. Muri Afurika y’Epfo, ingingo ya 21, igika cya mbere, y’Itegeko ryerekeye imiburanishirize y’imanza z’inshinjabyaha (Criminal Procedure Act, 1977) ivuga ko uruhushya rw’isaka rushobora gutangwa n’Urukiko iyo, nyuma y’indahiro y’urusaba, Urukiko rugaragarijwe ko hari impamvu zifatika zituma habaho gukeka ko hari ikintu gifitwe cyangwa kigenzurwa n’umuntu runaka cyangwa giherereye mu nyubako iri mu ifasi yarwo. Iyi ngingo iteganya ko urwo ruhushya rushobora no gutangwa n’Umucamanza mu gihe cy’iburanisha iyo bimugaragariye ko ari ngombwa[30].

[71]           Muri Leta Zunze Ubumwe za Amerika, naho ingingo ya 41 b) ya “Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure 2021” iteganya ko uruhushya rw’isaka rutangwa n’Urukiko ku busabe bw’umukozi w’ubutabera ubifitiye ububasha[31]. Umucamanza utanga uruhushya rwo gusaka aba ari ako kazi ashinzwe (neutral and detached judge)[32].

[72]           Mu Bwongereza, uruhushya rwo gusaka rutangwa habanje kubaho iburanisha ryitabirwa n’uwarusabye, ahibereye cyangwa binyuze mu buryo bw’iyakure, bigakorwa mu masaha y’akazi cyangwa nyuma yayo[33]. Abacamanza bagira umunyamategeko ushinzwe kubafasha, hakaba n’uduce tugira abacamanza cyangwa inkiko zishinzwe gusa ako kazi[34]. Kimwe mu bibazo byagaragajwe na Komisiyo ishinzwe kuvugurura amategeko muri icyo Gihugu, ni icyo kuba imirimo isanzwe y’inkiko ishobora kubangamirwa n’akazi ko gutanga impushya zo gusaka[35]; kandi gutinda kuzitanga bikaba bishobora gutuma hari ibimenyetso bibura[36].

[73]           Urukiko rusanga imwe mu mpamvu zituma bimwe mu Bihugu byavuzwe haruguru biteganya ko isaka rigomba gutangirwa uruhushya n’Urukiko, harimo no kutizera ubunyamwuga bw’inzego nyubahiriza tegeko. Mu rubanza Park Ross yaburanaga na “Director, Office for Serious Economic Offences”, Urukiko rushinzwe kurinda Itegeko Nshinga muri Afurika y’Epfo rwavuze ko akamaro ko guha Urukiko ububasha bwo gutanga uruhushya rw’isaka ari ukugira ngo ruhagarare hagati y’umuturage n’inzego z’iperereza, rusuzume niba koko impamvu zatanzwe n’urwego ruri gusaba uruhushya zifatika[37], hirindwe ko inzego z’iperereza zakwinjirira bikabije uburenganzira bw’umuturage[38].

[74]           Mu rubanza McDonald yaburanaga na Leta Zunze Ubumwe za Amerika, Urukiko rw’Ikirenga rwasanze uburenganzira ku mibereho bwite ari ingenzi cyane ku buryo butaguma mu maboko y’abashinzwe iperereza no gukurikirana abanyabyaha cyane cyane ko Polisi itizewe mu buryo ikoresha ububasha bwayo.[39] Naho mu rubanza Leta Zunze Ubumwe za Amerika zaburanaga na United States District Court, urwo Rukiko rwasanze kurekera ububasha bwo gutanga uruhushya rw’isaka mu maboko y’abashinzwe iperereza bishobora gutuma bashaka ibimenyetso bishinja gusa ndetse bikaba byatuma birengagiza ibyo kurengera uburenganzira ku mibereho bwite[40].

[75]           Ikigaragara mu ngero z’ibikorwa mu Bihugu bitandukanye zatanzwe, ni uko buri Gihugu gishyiraho “system” kibona ikwiye, hashingiwe ku mikoro gifite, ku miterere y’inzego zishinzwe ubutabera, ku cyatuma igikorwa cyo kwegeranya ibimenyetso kihuta, ku cyizere gihabwa inzego zishinzwe iperereza no gukurikirana ibyaha, n’ibindi. Urukiko rusanga ingamba yo gutuma uruhushya rw’isaka rutangwa n’Urukiko igamije ahanini gukumira ko inzego z’iperereza zagira uburenganzira bw’umuturage zahungabanya. Ibi byumvikanisha ko, icy’ingenzi ari ukubahiriza uburenganzira bw’umuturage ugiye gusakwa, kugira ngo isaka ritaba urwitwazo cyangwa impamvu yo kuvogera uburenganzira ateganyirizwa n’Itegeko Nshinga; naho kuba uruhushya rwatangwa n’urwego runaka ubwabyo bikaba bitafatwa nk’uburenganzira usakwa ateganyirizwa n’Itegeko Nshinga. Mu yandi magambo, uruhushya rwatangwa n’Urukiko cyangwa n’urundi rwego, inshingano z’urwego rugiye gukora isaka ni ukwitwara kinyamwuga no kubahiriza amategeko.

[76]           Urukiko rusanga kuba isaka ryemejwe n’Urukiko bitabuza byanze bikunze ugiye gukora isaka kuvogera uburenganzira bw’usakwa. Mu rubanza Ernest n’abandi baburanaga na Leta y’Ububiligi mu Rukiko rw’Ibihugu by’Uburayi rushinzwe uburenganzira bwa muntu, abarega bavugaga ko nubwo isaka bakorewe ryemejwe na juge d’Instruction, inzego z’iperereza zavogereye urugo rwabo ndetse ntizubahiriza uburenganzira bwabo ku mibereho bwite kuko hari amakuru bwite zafatiriye zitabanje kuyakorera urutonde, ntibamenyeshwa irengero ryayo n’icyo yari kuzazimarira. Urukiko rwasanze uruhushya rw’isaka rwaratanzwe hatabanje kugaragazwa icyaha cyakozwe cyangwa gikekwa kuba cyakozwe ngo binamenyeshwe abagomba gusakwa, rwandikwa mu mvugo rusange, ntirwavuga igihe ruzarangirira, aho isaka rizakorerwa n’ibigomba gufatirwa. Nubwo isaka ryari ryemejwe n’Umucamanza, Urukiko rwanzuye ko ritubahirije icyari kigambiriwe, bityo ko ryanyuranyije n’ingingo ya 8 y’Amasezerano y’Ibihugu by’Uburayi ku burenganzira bwa muntu[41].

[77]           Urukiko rurasanga urubanza rumaze kuvugwa haruguru rushimangira ko kuba uruhushya rw’isaka rwatangwa n’Urukiko atari byo bituma mu ishyirwa mu bikorwa ryarwo hubahirizwa uburenganzira ugiye gusakwa asanzwe ateganyirizwa n’Itegeko Nshinga. Urukiko rurasanga ahubwo kugira ngo uburenganzira bw’ugiye gusakwa budahungabanywa, hagomba kubaho amategeko asobanura mu buryo bwumvikana ibigomba kubahirizwa. Hagomba kuba kandi harateganyijwe uburyo ayo mategeko ashyirwa mu bikorwa n’inzego zibishinzwe, ububasha bw’izo nzego, ndetse n’inzira umuturage yanyuramo agaragariza inkiko ko ibyo amategeko ateganya bitubahirijwe kugirango bikosorwe.

[78]           Uyu murongo w’uko igikenewe mu isakwa ari amategeko asobanutse no gushyiraho ingamba z’uburyo yubahirizwa niwo Urukiko rw’Ibihugu by’Uburayi rushinzwe uburenganzira bwa muntu rwashimangiye mu rubanza Funke, Crémieux et Miaihle yaburanaga n’Ubufaransa aho rwagize ruti: ibihugu bihura n’ibibazo bikomeye bikomoka ku mikorere igoranye y’amabanki n’uburyo amafaranga ahererekanywa harimo n’imyishyuranire ku rwego mpuzamahanga, ibi byose bikoroshywa n’ibyuho bigaragara ku mipaka. Urukiko ruremera rero ko ibihugu bishobora gusanga ari ngombwa gushyiraho ingamba, nko gusaka amazu, gufatira, kugira ngo haboneke ibimenyetso by’ibyaha bijyanye n’ivunja ry’amafaranga no gukurikirana ababigizemo uruhare mu gihe ari ngombwa. Icyakora amategeko n’imigenzo y’uburyo ashyirwa mu bikorwa bigomba kuba birimo ingamba zikwiriye kandi zihagije zikumira kurengera[42].

[79]           Uyu murongo wongeye gushimangirwa no mu zindi manza harimo urwo Ernest n’abandi baburanaga na Leta y’Ububiligi rwavuzwe haruguru[43], n’urwo Klass na bagenzi be baburanaga n’Ubudage[44]. Ingingo z’amategeko zigomba kuba zumvikana (clear), zirondora ibikenewe byose (detailed) kandi zishyiraho ingamba zikumira kurengera (safeguards against possible abuse)[45].

[80]           Mu rubanza Colon yaburanaga n’Ubuholandi, Urukiko rw’Ibihugu by’Uburayi rushinzwe uburenganzira bwa muntu rwasanze kuba uruhushya rw’isaka rutangwa n’Ubushinjacyaha nk’uko bubyemererwa n’ingingo ya 52 ya Arms and Ammunitions Act atari ikibazo. Icy’ingenzi ni ukuba hari amategeko ajyanye n’ibigomba kubahirizwa igihe cy’isaka, kandi akaba yarashyizwe mu bikorwa, harimo no gusobanura impamvu uruhushya rutanzwe, uko ruzashyirwa mu bikorwa, kugena aho isaka rizakorerwa kandi urwo ruhushya ntirurenze igihe cyagenwe n’Itegeko[46]. Ikibazo Urukiko rwari rwagejejweho muri urwo rubanza, cyari icy’umuntu wavugaga ko mu gice cy’Umujyi wa Amsterdam kizwiho kurangwamo umutekano muke, Umushinjacyaha yahawe ububasha bwo kuvogera uburenganzira bwe ku mibereho bwite atabanje kubiherwa uruhushya n’Umucamanza, bikaba binyuranyije n’ingingo ya 8 y’amasezerano y’Ibihugu by’Uburayi yerekeye uburenganzira bwa muntu[47].

[81]           Muri urwo rubanza kandi, Urukiko rwagaragaje ko hari imanza zinyuranye rwagiye rwemeramo ko, n’ubwo ibyiza ari uko uruhushya rwo gusaka rutangwa n’Umucamanza mu gihe bibaye ngombwa kuvogera uburenganzira ku mibereho bwite, hari igihe bitashoboka; muri ibyo bihe, uruhushya rw’Umucamanza rukaba atari ngombwa, hapfa kuba haragenwe izindi ngamba zihagije[48].

[82]           Mu rubanza Delta Pekárny A.S. c. République Tchèque rwaciwe n’Urukiko rw’Ibihugu by’Uburayi rushinzwe uburenganzira bwa muntu, sosiyete irega yavugaga ko igenzura ryakorewe mu biro byayo bidatangiwe uruhushya n’Umucamanza ritubahirije uburenganzira bwayo ku mibereho bwite, buteganyijwe mu ngingo ya 8 y’amasezerano y’Ibihugu by’Uburayi yerekeye uburenganzira bwa muntu yavuzwe haruguru[49]. Urukiko rwasobanuye ko iyo amategeko y’ibihugu yemera ko hakorwa isaka bidatangiwe uruhushya n’Umucamanza, rugomba gushishoza n’ubwo ibihugu byemererwa kuba byareba igikwiye. Urwo Rukiko rwagaragaje ko mu manza zirebana no kurengera abantu ku bikorwa by’ubutegetsi bishobora kuvogera uburenganzira buteganywa n’ingingo ya 8 y’amasezerano y’Ibihugu by’Uburayi yerekeye uburenganzira bwa muntu, rwagiye rwemeza ko kuba nta ruhushya rwo gusaka rwatanzwe n’Umucamanza bidatera ikibazo igihe habayeho igenzura rikozwe nyuma n’Urukiko.[50]

[83]           Nanone mu rubanza rwa Modestou n’Igihugu cy’Ubugereki, Umushinjacyaha yari yategetse abapolisi gusaka aho urega atuye n’ibiro bye biherereye ahantu hatandukanye, mu rwego rwo gushaka amakuru y’ibanze ku cyaha cyari cyakozwe[51]. Urega yavugaga ko isaka ryakorewe aho atuye n’aho akorera ritubahirije uburenganzira buteganywa mu ngingo ya 8 y’amasezerano y’Ibihugu by’Uburayi yerekeye uburenganzira bwa muntu[52]. Urukiko rw’Ibihugu by’Uburayi rushinzwe uburenganzira bwa muntu rwaregewe rwasanze uruhushya rwatanzwe n’Umushinjacyaha rwaranditswe mu magambo ari rusange, rugaragaza ko ariko mu bihe nk’ibyo, cyane cyane iyo amategeko y’igihugu adateganya igenzura rikozwe mbere n’Umucamanza, hagomba guteganywa ubundi buryo bwatuma ibitakozwe neza mu itangwa n’ iyandikwa ry’uruhushya rw’isaka bidatera ikibazo[53]. Ibi ni nabyo byemejwe mu rubanza Leotsakos yaregagamo Igihugu cy’Ubugereki[54].

[84]           Mu rundi rubanza rwaciwe n’Urukiko rw’Ibihugu by’Uburayi rushinzwe uburenganzira bwa muntu, Gutsanovi yaregagamo Igihugu cya Bulgarie, hari hakozwe isaka mu rugo rw’urega nta ruhushya rwatanzwe n’Umucamanza, hashingiwe ku biteganywa n’amategeko agenga imiburanishirize y’imanza z’inshinjabyaha muri icyo Gihugu[55]. Urukiko rwasobanuye ko mu bihe nk’ibyo, impungenge z’uko nta ruhushya rwatanzwe n’Umucamanza zivanwaho n’igenzura rishobora gukorwa nyuma n’Urukiko ku bijyanye no kuba iryo saka ryari ngombwa kandi ko ryubahirije amategeko[56].

[85]           Mu rubanza Heino yaburanaga na Finland, Urukiko rw’Ibihugu by’Uburayi rushinzwe uburenganzira bwa muntu rwasanze igishobora kubangamira uburenganzira bw’usakwa ari ukuba adashobora kwiyambaza Urukiko mbere cyangwa nyuma y’isaka. Kuba umuntu wasatswe adashobora kwiyambaza inkiko nyuma y’isaka kugira ngo agaragaze inenge ziri mu cyemezo cy’isaka cyangwa uburyo isaka ryakozwe, bituma uwo muturage atarengerwa bihagije n’itegeko nyamara ari uburenganzira bwe mu gihugu kigendera ku mategeko na demokarasi[57].

[86]           Uyu murongo wongeye kwemezwa mu rubanza Zosymov yaburanaga na Ukraine, aho Urukiko rw’Ibihugu by’Uburayi rushinzwe uburenganzira bwa muntu rwasanze kuba itegeko ryerekeye imiburanishirize y’imanza nshinjabyaha rya Ukraine riteganya ko nta muntu wasatswe wemerewe kuregera icyemezo cy’isaka cyangwa uburyo isaka ryagenze adahuje ikirego cye n’icy’Ubushinjacyaha ku cyaha cyatumye isaka rikorwa binyuranyije n’uburenganzira umuturage ateganyirizwa n’ingingo ya 8 y’Amasezerano y’Ibihugu by’Uburayi yerekeye uburenganzira bwa muntu. Muri urwo rubanza, ikirego cy’umuntu wasatswe cyari cyanze kwakirwa kuko nyuma y’isaka Ubushinjacyaha bwamaze imyaka myinshi nta kirego buratanga, ari nabyo byaburijemo ikirego cy’uwari warasatswe wavugaga ko uburenganzira bwe bwavogerewe[58].

[87]           Mu bisobanuro bimaze gutangwa ku byo amategeko y’ibihugu binyuranye ateganya ku bijyanye n’urwego rufite ububasha bwo gutanga uruhushya rw’isaka, ndetse no ku byasobanuwe n’inkiko zinyuranye kuri icyo kibazo, Urukiko rusanga humvikanamo ibintu by’ingenzi bikurikira:

a. “System” z’ibihugu ziratandukanye; hari aho uruhushya rw’isaka rutangwa n’Umucamanza wihariye ushinzwe gukora no gukurikirana iperereza, hari aho rutangwa n’Urukiko, hari aho rutangwa n’Ubushinjacyaha, hari n’aho bikorwa byombi ni ukuvuga aho rutangwa n’Urukiko ndetse n’Ubushinjacyaha;

b. Kuba uruhushya rw’isaka rwatangwa n’urwego uru n’uru, ubwabyo ntacyo bibangamiyeho amahame ateganywa n’Itegeko Nshinga, ahubwo igikuru ni uko hashyirwaho uburyo butuma habaho kubahiriza uburenganzira bw’umuturage ugiye gusakwa;

c. Kugirango uburenganzira bw’ugiye gusakwa budahungabanywa, hagomba kubaho amategeko asobanura mu buryo bwumvikana ibigomba kubahirizwa, n’ingamba zikumira kurengera;

d. Hagomba kandi kubaho inzira umuturage yanyuramo kugirango agaragarize inkiko ibitubahirijwe mu byo amategeko ateganya, kugirango bikosorwe. By’umwihariko, mu bihugu bidateganya ko uruhushya rwo gusaka rutangwa n’Umucamanza (contrôle a priori/ex ante factum), hagomba kubaho igenzura rikozwe nyuma n’Urukiko (contrôle a posteriori/ex post factum).

[88]           Mu Rwanda, urwego rw’Ubushinjacyaha Bukuru rwahawe ububasha bwo gukora iperereza no gukurikirana ibyaha mu gihugu hose, hashingiwe ku biteganywa mu ngingo ya 142, igika cya 1, y’Itegeko Nshinga. Nk’urwego rushinzwe gukora no gukurikirana ibikorwa by’iperereza, ni narwo amategeko yahaye ububasha bwo gutanga uruhushya rw’isaka nk’uko bigaragara mu ngingo ya 55, igika cya 1; n’iya 61 z’Itegeko N° 027/2019 ryo ku wa 19/09/2019 ryerekeye imiburanishirize y’imanza z’inshinjabyaha.

[89]           Mu rwego rwo kubahiriza uburenganzira bw’usakwa no kugirango hatabaho kurengera, Itegeko N° 027/2019 ryo ku wa 19/09/2019 rimaze kuvugwa ryasobanuye mu buryo bwumvikana ibigomba kubahirizwa n’uwahawe uruhushya rwo gusaka, birimo:

g. Kuba, uretse igihe umuntu afatiwe mu cyuho, Umugenzacyaha cyangwa Umushinjacyaha adashobora gukoresha isaka umuntu yambitswe ubusa cyangwa mu mubiri atabiherewe uruhushya n’Umushinjacyaha uyobora urwego rw’Ubushinjacyaha akoreramo, kandi iryo saka rikaba rikorwa na muganga wenyine (ingingo ya 56, igika cya 2);

h. Kuba, umuntu ugomba gusakwa yambitswe ubusa cyangwa mu mubiri ashobora kwihitiramo umuherekeza w’umuganga, uwo bashyingiranywe cyangwa undi muntu wese mukuru yihitiyemo (ingingo ya 56, igika cya 3).

i. Kuba Umugenzacyaha cyangwa Umushinjacyaha umaze gukora isaka agomba gukora inyandikomvugo yaryo (ingingo ya 55, igika cya 8), kopi yayo igahabwa abarebwa n’icyo gikorwa (ingingo ya 64).

[90]           Urukiko rurasanga ingamba zashyizweho n’ingingo za 55, 56, 60 na 64 z’Itegeko N° 027/2019 ryo ku wa 19/09/2019 ryavuzwe haruguru zisobanutse kandi zumvikana ku bijyanye no kubahiriza uburenganzira bw’umuturage ugiye gusakwa, no gukumira ko habaho kurengera. Ku bijyanye n’inzira umuturage yanyuramo kugirango agaragarize inkiko ibitubahirijwe mu byo amategeko ateganya, kandi asabe ko bikosorwa, ingingo ya 43 y’Itegeko Nshinga iha inkiko inshingano zo kuba umurinzi w’uburenganzira n’ubwisanzure bwa muntu, naho ingingo yaryo ya 23, igika cya kabiri, igateganya ko isaka rigomba gukorwa mu bihe no mu buryo biteganyijwe n’amategeko.

[91]           Urukiko rusanga iyo hari ibiteganywa n’amategeko bitubahirijwe mu gihe cy’isaka, uwakorewe isaka ashobora kwiyambaza inkiko kugirango aharanire uburengazira bwe bwahungabanyijwe. Muri urwo rwego, ingingo ya 76,2^o y’Itegeko N° 027/2019 ryo ku wa 19/09/2019 ryerekeye imiburanishirize y’imanza z’inshinjabyaha iha Umucamanza inshingano zo gusuzuma ibyakozwe mu gihe cy’iperereza bitubahirije amategeko, iyo asuzuma ikirego ku ifunga n’ifungurwa ry’agateganyo. Iyo ngingo iteganya ko Umucamanza uburanisha ibirego by’ifunga ry’agateganyo afite inshingano zirimo izo gusuzuma ko ibihe by’ifunga n’ubundi burenganzira bw’ukekwaho icyaha bwubahirijwe mu gihe cy’iperereza.

[92]           Na none, uregwa ashobora kugaragariza Umucamanza uburanisha urubanza rwe mu mizi ibyo asanga bitarubahirije amategeko mu gihe cy’iperereza, harimo n’ibyerekeye isaka. Igihe Umucamanza asanze hari ibimenyetso byabonetse mu isaka ridakurikije amategeko, abitesha agaciro. Ku muntu waba warakorewe isaka, ariko ntakorerwe dosiye ngo agezwe imbere y’Umucamanza, aba afite uburenganzira bwo kuregera indishyi ku byaba byarakozwe mu buryo bunyuranyije n’amategeko mu rubanza mbonezamubano.

ii) Ku bijyanye n’isaka ritatangiwe uruhushya

[93]           Ingingo ya 55, igika cya 4, y’Itegeko N° 027/2019 ryo ku wa 19/09/2019 ryerekeye imiburanishirize y’imanza z’inshinjabyaha iteganya ko iyo ukekwaho icyaha afatiwe mu cyuho cyangwa asa n’uwagifatiwemo, ibijyanye no kwitwaza uruhushya rw’isaka ku mugenzacyaha cyangwa kubahiriza amasaha y’isaka bishobora kutubahirizwa. Buri gihe isaka rikorwa hari abahagarariye ubuyobozi bw’inzego z’ibanze bw’aho icyo gikorwa kibera. Naho ingingo ya 56, igika cya 2, y’iryo Tegeko ikagira iti: uretse igihe umuntu afatiwe mu cyuho, Umugenzacyaha cyangwa Umushinjacyaha ntashobora gukoresha isaka umuntu yambitswe ubusa cyangwa mu mubiri atabiherewe uruhushya n’Umushinjacyaha uyobora urwego rw’Ubushinjacyaha akoreramo. Iryo saka rikorwa na muganga wenyine.

[94]           Ingingo ya 3 y’Itegeko N° 12/2017 ryo ku wa 07/04/2017 rishyiraho Urwego rw’Igihugu rushinzwe Ubugenzacyaha rikanagena inshingano, ububasha, imitunganyirize n’imikorere byarwo iteganya ko Urwego rw’Ubugenzacyaha rushobora gusaka umuntu cyangwa ibintu, kwinjira mu nyubako cyangwa ahantu nta ruhushya rwo gusaka iyo hari impamvu zikurikira:

a. Impamvu zifatika zituma rukeka ko icyaha kirimo gukorwa cyangwa kigiye gukorwa;

b. Ibimenyetso bifatika byerekana ko mu nyubako cyangwa ahantu hari ikintu cyakoreshejwe mu gukora icyaha cyangwa gikenewe ku mpamvu z’iperereza;

c. Ibimenyetso bikomeye bigaragaza ko umuntu wakoze icyaha ari aho hantu kandi agomba guhagarikwa.

Muri icyo gihe, hakorwa inyandikomvugo y’isaka hakanakorwa raporo igaragaza impamvu iryo saka ryakozwe nta ruhushya rwo gusaka […].

[95]           Urukiko rurasanga isaka nta ruhushya rigamije kwirinda ko gutinda kuruhabwa biburizamo icyo iryo saka ryari rigamije. Ntabwo Umushinjacyaha cyangwa Umugenzacyaha yarebera ikorwa ry’icyaha cyangwa ngo yirengagize ibimenyetso abonye by’uko hari icyaha cyakozwe cyangwa kigiye gukorwa. Ahubwo afite inshingano zo kwita ndetse no kuba yafatira ibimenyetso abonye atabiteganyaga bimugaragariza ko hari icyaha cyakozwe, kirimo gukorwa cyangwa kirimo gutegurwa.

[96]           Urukiko rurasanga akenshi abagenzacyaha biyambazwa mu buryo bwihutirwa, hari nubwo basabwa guherekeza abapolisi bagiye gutabara ahantu runaka cyangwa gutegura imitego yatezwe n’abashaka gukora ibyaha. Ubwihutirwe bwa bene ibyo bikorwa nibwo bwatumye Umushingamategeko ateganya ko Umugenzacyaha cyangwa Umushinjacyaha ashobora kutabona umwanya wo kujya gusaba urwego rubishinzwe uruhushya rw’isaka iyo umuntu ugomba gusakwa afatiwe mu cyuho, asa n’ugifatiwemo cyangwa se iyo hari imwe mu mpamvu zivugwa mu ngingo ya 3 y’Itegeko N° 12/2017 ryo ku wa 07/04/2017 zavuzwe haruguru.

[97]           Urukiko rusanga mu rwego rwo gukumira ko uburenganzira bw’umuntu ugiye gusakwa nta ruhushya bwavogerwa, itegeko ryateganyije ko isaka iryo ariryo ryose rikorerwa inyandikomvugo[59]. Ku muntu ufatiwe mu cyuho cyangwa usa n’ugifatiwemo, isaka rigakorwa hari abayobozi b’inzego z’ibanze, Umugenzacyaha akaba agomba gukora raporo igaragaza impamvu zatumye isaka rikorwa nta ruhushya ritangiwe. Urukiko rusanga izi ngamba zashyizweho n’Umushingamategeko zigamije gukumira ko habaho kurengera kw’abashinzwe igikorwa cy’isaka, kandi nk’uko byasobanuwe harugu, igihe habayeho kutubahiriza amategeko, uwakorewe isaka aba afite uburenganzira bwo kwiyambaza inkiko.

[98]           Hashingiwe ku mategeko yagaragajwe no ku bisobanuro byose byatanzwe, Urukiko rurasanga kuba uruhushya rw’isaka rudatangwa n’Urukiko ahubwo rugatangwa n’Ubushinjacyaha, cyangwa kuba harateganyijwe ibihe isaka rishobora gukorwa ritatangiwe uruhushya, bitanyuranyije n’ingingo ya 13, iya 14, iya 23, iya 24, iya 29, iya 43 n’iya 61 z’Itegeko Nshinga.

b. Ibyerekeye gutegeka umuntu gutanga amakuru no kubaza umuntu uwo ari we wese ukekwaho ko afite amakuru yafasha mu iperereza

[99]           Ingingo ya 10, agace ka 8, y’Itegeko N^o 12/2017 ryo ku wa 07/04/2017 rishyiraho Urwego rw’Igihugu rushinzwe Ubugenzacyaha rikanagena inshingano, ububasha, imitunganyirize n’imikorere byarwo iteganya ko hakurikijwe amategeko abigenga, RIB ifite ububasha bwo gutegeka umuntu gutanga amakuru no kubaza umuntu uwo ari we wese ukekwaho ko afite amakuru yafasha mu iperereza.

[100]       Naho ingingo ya 29, igika cya mbere, agace ka 2°, y’Itegeko Nshinga iteganya ko buri muntu wese afite uburenganzira ku butabera buboneye, burimo uburenganzira bwo: […] gufatwa nk’umwere kugeza igihe Urukiko rubifitiye ububasha rumuhamije icyaha.

[101]       Urukiko rurasanga ihame ry’uburenganzira ku butabera buboneye ryaragarutsweho mu rubanza rwa Kabasinga Florida rwaciwe n’uru Rukiko ku wa 04/12/2019. Muri uru rubanza, Urukiko rwasobanuye ko ibigize ubwo burenganzira bitarondowe byose mu ngingo ya 29 y’Itegeko Nshinga, ariko rugaragaza ko ubwo burenganzira buri mu byiciro bibiri:

a. Ubutabera buboneye bushingiye ku migendekere, ni ukuvuga uruhererekane rw’ibigomba kubahirizwa mu migenzo y’urubanza hashingiwe ku mahame ateganywa n’amategeko;

b. Ubutabera buboneye bushingiye ku biteganywa n’itegeko, ni ukuvuga ibuza ry’ishyirwaho ry’amategeko cyangwa izindi ngamba zidashyira mu gaciro zibangamira uburenganzira bw’umuturage[60].

[102]    Urukiko rurasanga ingingo ya 29 y’Itegeko Nshinga idatandukanya ubwo bwoko bwombi bw’uburenganzira ku butabera buboneye n’igihe butangirira kubahirizwa. Abahagarariye Leta y’u Rwanda bavuga ko uburenganzira ku butabera buboneye butangirira imbere y’inkiko, ariko mu myanzuro yabo ntibagaragaza aho babishingira. Mu rubanza rwa Kabasinga Florida rwavuzwe haruguru, Urukiko rwasobanuye ko mu manza nshinjabyaha, uburenganzira ku butabera buboneye butangirana n’ibikorwa by’iperereza, bugakomereza ku bikorwa by’ikurikiranacyaha, iby’iburanisha n’itangwa ry’ibihano ku byaha biteganyijwe n’amategeko ahana[61].

[103]       Urukiko rurasanga rero, uburenganzira ku butabera buboneye, cyane cyane ubwo kumenyeshwa imiterere n’impamvu z’icyaha umuntu akurikiranyweho, kwiregura no kunganirwa, n’ubwo gufatwa nk’umwere kugeza igihe Urukiko rubifitiye ububasha rumuhamije icyaha, bidatangirana no kuregerwa Urukiko nk’uko abahagarariye Leta y’u Rwanda bashaka kubyumvikanisha. Urukiko rurasanga ihame ryo gufatwa nk’umwere kugeza igihe Urukiko rubifitiye ububasha rufatiye icyemezo ndakuka, rigomba kubahirizwa mu migenzo yose y’urubanza kugeza igihe icyemezo ndakuka gifatiwe. Iri hame riha uruhande rurega inshingano zo kuba arirwo rugaragaza ibimenyetso byemeza icyaha nta shiti, rikaba rireba inzego zose[62] (harimo n’Ubushinjacyaha).

[104]       Ku bijyanye n’uru rubanza, ikibazo kigomba gusubizwa ni icyo kumenya niba ibivugwa mu ngingo ya 10, agace ka 8, y’Itegeko No 12/2017 ryo ku wa 07/04/2017 rishyiraho Urwego rw’Igihugu rushinzwe Ubugenzacyaha rikanagena inshingano, ububasha, imitunganyirize n’imikorere byarwo, hari aho bibangamiye ihame ry’uburenganzira ku butabera buboneye rimaze gusobanurwa, by’umwihariko uburenganzira bwo gufatwa nk’umwere kugeza igihe Urukiko rubifitiye ububasha ruhamirije umuntu icyaha.

[105]       Urukiko rurasanga, nubwo ijambo amakuru rivugwa mu ngingo ya 10, agace ka 8, y’Itegeko N^o 12/2017 ryo ku wa 07/04/2017 ryavuzwe haruguru ryasemuwe mu cyongereza no mu gifaransa nka “information”, ritagomba gufatwa ryonyine (isolated) kandi ngo rihabwe igisobanuro cy’ibanze cyangwa cya rusange (generic definition) kirihuza n’itangazamakuru cyangwa abanyamakuru. Ntabwo intego y’Umushingamategeko ubwo yashyiragaho iyo ngingo kwari ukugira ngo Urwego rw’Ubugenzacyaha ruzajye rushakira abanyamakuru ababaha inkuru ku mikorere y’ibyaha. Niyo mpamvu ijambo amakuru rigomba guhuzwa n’amagambo yafasha mu iperereza” nayo agaragara muri iyo ngingo.

[106]       Urukiko rurasanga Ubugenzacyaha bumenya imikorere y’icyaha nibura mu buryo butatu: ibirego by’abahohotewe (victims’complaints), igenzura ry’Ubugenzacyaha (investigation) cyangwa amakuru yatanzwe n’uwo ari we wese (denunciation). Mu gihe cy’iperereza rishingiye kuri bumwe muri ubu buryo, Ubugenzacyaha bushobora kubona ko hari ahandi bwakura ibisobanuro byimbitse kurusha ibyo bufite, cyangwa ibimenyetso by’inyongera bishobora gutuma iperereza rigera ku ntego zaryo zo kugaragaza icyaha cyakozwe, abakigizemo uruhare, aho cyakorewe, igihe cyakorewe, abagikorewe cyangwa izindi ngaruka cyateye. Ibyo bisobanuro cyangwa ibyo bimenyetso bigamije kunoza iperereza ry’Ubugenzacyaha nibyo Umushingamategeko yise amakuru.

[107]       Kuba urwego rushinzwe kugenza ibyaha rushobora kubaza uwo ariwe wese rukeka ko yarufasha kubona amakuru ku cyaha cyakozwe, si umwihariko w’u Rwanda. Ingingo ya 10, igika cya 4, y’Itegeko rigenga imiburanishirize y’imanza z’inshinjabyaha mu Gihugu cy’u Burundi, iteganya ko abagenzacyaha babaza abantu bakeka ko bafite amakuru ku cyaha cyakozwe[63]. Mu Gihugu cya Singapore, ingingo ya 22 y’Itegeko rigenga imiburanishirize y’imanza z’inshinjabyaha iha abashinzwe gukora iperereza ububasha bwo kumva umuntu wese ukekwaho kugira amakuru ku cyaha cyakozwe, kandi uwo muntu akaba ategetswe kuyatanga, keretse ayo abona ko ashobora kumushinja[64]. Ibi ni nako bimeze muri Burkinafaso[65], muri Côte d’Ivoire[66], no mu bindi bihugu bitarondowe aha.

[108]       Urukiko rusanga nanone, amagambo uwo ariwe wese avugwa mu ngingo ya 10, agace ka 8, y’Itegeko N^o 12/2017 ryo ku wa 07/04/2017 ryavuzwe haruguru, asobanura umuntu wese udakurikiranyweho icyaha waba ufite amakuru yafasha mu gikorwa cy’iperereza, akaba adasobanura ukurikiranyweho icyaha nk’uko Murangwa Edward ashaka kubyumvikanisha, kuko we abazwa n’Ubugenzacyaha nk’ugomba gutanga ibisobanuro ku byo akurikiranyweho. Ibi Umushingamategeko yabigaragaje neza mu ngingo ya 45 y’Itegeko Nº 027/2019 ryo ku wa 19/09/2019 ryerekeye imiburanishirize y’imanza z’inshinjabyaha. Mu gika cyayo cya 2, iyo ngingo igira iti: umugenzacyaha cyangwa Umushinjacyaha abaza ukekwaho icyaha kandi agashyira mu nyandikomvugo ibisobanuro bye.

Ibazwa rikorwa mu rurimi ubazwa yumva neza; naho mu gika cyayo cya 3, igateganya ko Umugenzacyaha cyangwa Umushinjacyaha ashobora kandi kubaza umuntu wese akeka ko ashobora kugira ibisobanuro atanga no kumusaba gutanga ubuhamya amaze kurahira mu buryo buteganywa mu ngingo ya 47 y’iri Tegeko. Uwo muntu wese uvugwa muri iki gika, ni nawe uvugwa mu ngingo ya 10, agace ka 8, y’Itegeko N^o 12/2017 ryo ku wa 07/04/2017.

[109]       Mu gihe kandi ukekwaho icyaha abazwa n’Ubugenzacyaha cyangwa n’Ubushinjacyaha ku mikorere y’icyaha, mu burenganzira agomba kumenyeshwa buteganywa n’ingingo ya 54, 2^o y’ Itegeko N^o 027/2019 ryo ku wa 19/09/2019 ryavuzwe haruguru, harimo ubwo kutagira icyo atangaza (droit au silence/right to silence); bivuga ko atari mu bategetswe gutanga amakuru bavugwa mu gace ka 8 k’ingingo ya 10 y’ Itegeko N^o 12/2017 ryo ku wa 07/04/2017 ryavuzwe haruguru.

[110]       Urukiko rurasanga rero, mu gihe Ubugenzacyaha bwaba bushyikiriza abakekwaho icyaha itangazamakuru kugira ngo ribahate ibibazo ku mikorere y’icyaha bubakurikiranyeho, bukabikora bambaye amapingu nk’uko Murangwa Edward n’abamwunganira babivuga, butaba bubishingira ku ngingo ya 10, agace ka 8, y’Itegeko N^o 12/2017 ryo ku wa 07/04/2017 ryavuzwe haruguru kubera ko ntaho iyo ngingo ivuga ko Ubugenzacyaha bushobora gushyikiriza ukekwaho icyaha abanyamakuru kugira ngo abe aribo bamubaza ku mikorere y’icyaha akurikiranweho cyangwa abazwe amakuru yafasha mu iperereza. Iyo migirire (pratique) iramutse iriho, Urukiko rusanga itakosorerwa mu kwemeza ko ingingo imaze kuvugwa inyuranyije n’Itegeko Nshinga.

[111]       Icyakora, Urukiko rwatanga inama ko mu gihe inzego zishinzwe iperereza zikorana n’itangazamakuru mu rwego rwo kumenyesha rubanda iby’iperereza ririmo gukorwa, zigomba gukora ibishoboka byose kugira ngo hubahirizwe ihame ry’uko umuntu afatwa nk’umwere igihe cyose icyaha kitaramuhama. Ibimaze kuvugwa byashimangiwe mu rubanza Allenet De Ribemont v. France, aho Urukiko rw’Ibihugu by’Uburayi rushinzwe uburenganzira bwa muntu rwagaragaje ko ihame ryo gufatwa nk’umwere ritabuza abayobozi kumenyesha rubanda iby’iperereza ririmo gukorwa, ariko ko bagomba kubikora bitwararitse kugirango batarenga ku ihame ryo gufatwa nk’umwere igihe umuntu atarahamwa n’icyaha[67].

[112]       Ku bijyanye n’ibyo Murangwa Edward n’abamwunganira bavuga ko n’ubwo uru Rukiko rwasanga ingingo ya 10, agace ka 8, y’Itegeko N^o 12/2017 ryo ku wa 07/04/2017 ryavuzwe haruguru itanyuranyije n’Itegeko Nshinga, rwategeka ko ijambo “gutegeka” rivanwa muri iyo ngingo, naho amagambo umuntu uwo ari we wese akongerwamo usibye ukurikiranweho icyaha kugira ngo harengerwe uburenganzira ku butabera buboneye, Urukiko rurasanga iki atari ikibazo kirebana no gusuzuma ko itegeko rinyuranyije n’Itegeko Nshinga, ahubwo ari ikibazo kirebana no kugena ibijya mw’itegeko, bikaba bitategekwa n’uru Rukiko kuko bitari mu nshingano zarwo. Ibyagiye bikorwa n’uru Rukiko rubyibwirije mu zindi manza, byabaga ari ukuziba icyuho cyasigara mu ngingo y’itegeko igihe hari igice cyayo kivanyweho[68], cyangwa gutanga inama gusa ku bikwiye kwitabwaho cyangwa kunozwa mu ngingo y’itegeko igihe rwabaga rusanga ari ngombwa, ariko ntirubitegeke[69].

[113]       Ntabwo rero umuburanyi ashobora kuregera Urukiko rushinzwe kurinda Itegeko Nshinga arusaba guhindura, kuvana cyangwa kongera amagambo mu ngingo y’Itegeko, bitewe n’uko atamunyuze cyangwa kuri we ayagombaga gukoreshwa atariyo Umushingamategeko yakoresheje.

[114]       Hashingiwe ku bisobanuro bimaze gutangwa, Urukiko rurasanga ibivugwa mu ngingo ya 10, agace ka 8, y’Itegeko No 12/2017 ryo ku wa 07/04/2017 rishyiraho Urwego rw’Igihugu rushinzwe Ubugenzacyaha rikanagena inshingano, ububasha, imitunganyirize n’imikorere byarwo ntaho bibangamiye ihame ry’uburenganzira ku butabera buboneye riteganywa n’ingingo ya 29, igika cya mbere, agace ka 2°, y’Itegeko Nshinga.

II.2. Kumenya niba amagambo impamvu zifatika, ibimenyetso bifatika n’ibimenyetso bikomeye yakoreshejwe mu ngingo ya 10, agace ka 3, a, b na c y’Itegeko N^o 12/2017 ryo ku wa 07/04/2017 rishyiraho Urwego rw’Igihugu Rushinzwe Ubugenzacyaha rikanagena inshingano, ububasha, imitunganyirize n’imikorere byarwo, akwiriye gutangwaho umurongo mu nyungu z’Itegeko

[116]       Murangwa Edward n’abamwunganira bavuga ko amagambo “impamvu zifatika, ibimenyetso bifatika n’ibimenyetso bikomeye” ari mu ngingo ya 10, agace ka 3 a, b na c z’Itegeko N^o 12/2017 ryo ku wa 07/04/2017 ryavuzwe haruguru yanditswe mu buryo bwa rusange ku buryo uyakoresha bimugora kumenya icyo avuze, ndetse akaba yarabaye urwitwazo ku nzego z’Ubugenzacyaha n’Ubushinjacyaha rwo gukora isaka nta rupapuro rw’isaka (warrantless search). Basanga ayo magambo agomba gusobanurwa mu buryo bwumvikana hakamenyekana impamvu zifatika izo arizo, ibimenyetso bifatika ibyo aribyo, ndetse n’ibimenyetso bikomeye ibyo aribyo.

[117]       Bavuga ko rimwe mu mahame Leta y’u Rwanda yiyemeje kugenderaho no kubahiriza riboneka mu ngingo ya 10, igika cya kane, y’Itegeko Nshinga ari ukugendera ku mategeko no kubaka ubutegetsi bwa demokarasi, ko ntacyakazitiye uburenganzira bw’umuturage kereka mu buryo no mu nzira biteganywa n’ingingo ya 41 y’iryo Tegeko Nshinga, ivuga ko uburenganzira bwa muntu buzitirwa gusa n’uburenganzira n’ubwisanzure by’abandi, imyitwarire iboneye, ituze rusange rya rubanda n’imibereho myiza muri rusange biranga Igihugu kigendera kuri demokarasi.

[118]       Bakomeza bavuga ko icyo bagamije atari ugusaba uru Rukiko kwemeza ko amagambo “impamvu zifatika, ibimenyetso bifatika n’ibimenyetso bikomeye ari mu ngingo ya 10, agace ka 3, a, b na c y’Itegeko N^o 12/2017 ryo ku wa 07/04/2017 yibukijwe haruguru atuma iyo ngingo inyuranya n’Itegeko Nshinga, ahubwo ko bifuza ko mu gihe Umushingamategeko atarahindura iyo ngingo, Urukiko rwashingira ku biteganywa n’ingingo ya 73 y’Itegeko N° 30/2018 ryo ku wa 02/06/2018 rigena ububasha bw’inkiko, rugaha ibisobanuro ayo magambo kugira ngo uyikoresha yirinde kugenekereza no kurengera.

[119]       Bavuga ko umurongo watangwa n’Urukiko rw’Ikirenga mu nyungu z’itegeko wagira akamaro gakomeye mu rwego rwo kurengera uburenganzira ku mibereho bwite n’umuryango ndetse n’uburenganzira ku butabera buboneye by’ukurikiranyweho icyaha.
