{{Jean Berchmans Habinshuti a genocide fugitve in Canada might be extradited to Rwanda after failing to successfully seek refugee status through the Canadian Immigration Appeal Division.}}
Habinshuti, 58, served as the private secretary to the prime minister around August 1993, a time when the Genocide against the Tutsi was building up.
Habinshuti is alleged to have attended and helped plan an April 2, 1994, meeting that was “a turning point in the history of Rwanda as it led to the assassination of Prime Minister Agathe Uwiringiyimana and the Genocide.”
Under Canada’s war crimes law, senior officials in the Rwandan government between 1990 and 1994 are not permitted to enter the Oceanian nation’s territory.
