{{Jean Pierre Dusingizemungu the chairman of Ibuka, an association of Rwandan genocide survivors has commended the deportation of genocide suspect Leo Mugesera who arrived in Rwanda last night from Montreal Canada.}}<\/p>\n
He also hailed Canada\u2019s judiciary which has struggled with the suspect\u2019s deportation case for the past 15 years.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe court has made a good decision despite being mislead by genocide deniers and sympathizers of those who committed atrocities in Rwanda\u2019s 1994 ethnic war,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Dusingizemungu called upon potential witnesses to testify against Mugesera during his trial as a way to enhance justice.<\/p>\n
\u201cHis deportation should be a lesson to other accomplices still hiding, and we request that foreign countries harboring other genocide fugitives to arrest and deport them to Rwanda since their cases will be judged fairly,\u201d he insisted.<\/p>\n
Dusingizemungu was reacting against what he called false excuses from foreign countries hesitating to transfer genocide suspects accusing Rwandan government of harassing and torturing the accused. <\/p>\n
\u201cThis isn\u2019t true we have professionally handled similar cases in the past. The United Nation has entrusted our country to detain war criminals from Sierra Leone and several suspects have been transferred to Rwanda by the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda based in Tanzania\u2019s Arusha.\u201d<\/p>\n
According to police spokesman Supt Theos Badege, Mugesera who is allegedly charged with war crimes and crimes against humanity including inciting killings against the Tutsi, will be handed to the general prosecution office in not less than three days.<\/p>\n
Currently the suspect is at an undisclosed police detention facility. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
