{{The collective of associations of Genocide survivors “Ibuka”, denounces “an international conspiracy” against justice, after British media revealed that the suspect was a taxi driver in London. }}
Dusingizemungu Jean-Pierre, president of Ibuka told agency Hirondelle that reluctance of some countries has contributed to international conspiracy hatched by deniers mostly well known and most of whom are genocide suspects.
The United Kingdom, who doubt that the Rwandan justice can guarantee a fair trial to Genocide suspect Modeste Kennedy Hakizimana refused to extradite him to Kigali.
The suspect is brother of Major Thaddeus Bagaragaza, a former officer of the former president Juvenal Habyarimana.
However, according to the Daily Mail, the UK has rejected his application for asylum on the grounds that there was reason to believe that he played a role in the 1994 genocide against Tutsis.
Rwandan says the country’s reluctant to refer genocide suspects to their countries of origin, must try them before their own courts.
The UK has a 2001 legal amendment allowing its courts to deal with cases relating to serious violations of international law committed abroad, but the text has no retroactive effect.
