PanARMENIAN.Net - The first genocide suspect to be transferred by an
international genocide tribunal to Rwanda has arrived in the country's
capital, The Associated Press reported.
Rwandan officials said the transfer shows that the international
community is confident that Rwanda's court system can provide a
fair trial.
The Tanzania-based International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda
approved the transfer of Jean Uwinkindi, a pastor, who arrived in
Rwanda Thursday evening.
Uwinkindi was arrested in Uganda in 2010 on genocide-related charges.
He allegedly led groups of armed killers against Tutsi civilians
during Rwanda's 1994 genocide.
Extremist Rwandan Hutus killed more than 500,000 Tutsis and moderate
Hutus during the genocide.
