Guarded by two Rwandan policemen, Father Guy Theunis, 60, right, appears before a Gacaca court in Kigali, Rwanda, Sunday, Sept. 11, 2005. The Belgian priest was arrested while he was transiting in Rwanda and accused of reproducing articles encouraging the killings of the Tutsi minority by the Hutu extremists. Gacaca courts are a new form of community justice that have been used in Rwanda in the wake of the Rwandan genocide. The system involves both victims and witnesses in an interactive court proceeding against alleged criminals. ( AP Photo/Riccardo Gangale) Height (pixels): 362 Width (pixels): 512
