Genocide suspect returned to Rwanda
Print Edition
TOP level Rwandan genocide suspect Ladislas Ntaganzwa was flown from Kinshasa to Kigali yesterday to face trial three months after his arrest in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
The 53-year-old former mayor is to be tried on nine counts of genocide, crimes against humanity and violating the Geneva Conventions during the 1994 genocide in which around 800,000 people were killed, mostly ethnic Tutsis.
“We are very happy to see this effected,” said Jean-Bosco Siboyintore, head of Rwanda’s Genocide Fugitive Tracking Unit as the suspect landed yesterday afternoon and was taken into Rwandan police custody.
“We have been long waiting for it and we are happy that the Mechanism for International Criminal Tribunal have so far delivered him from DRC.”
Siboyintore said arrangements for the trial were under way.
Ntaganzwa was arrested in Congo in December and was transferred into UN custody earlier yesterday ahead of his extradition to Rwanda.
“Ladislas Ntaganzwa, who is accused of participating in genocide in Rwanda, has been in our hands since December 2015. We have decided to hand him over to the UNMICT,” said Congolese Justice Minister Alexis Thambwe Mwamba.
Until his arrest, Ntaganzwa was one of nine top fugitive Rwandan genocide suspects, accused of killing thousands of people and organising mass rapes in 1994.
