{{T\u00e9lesphore Dereva, a Rwandan resident of Canada, with an international arrest warrant issued by the Justice of Rwanda, was released on bail Wednesday after being arrested by Canadian authorities.}}<\/p>\n
Rwanda accuses Dereva for being part of militias that participated in the 1994 genocide. He has been resident in Canada since 2007 in Quebec.<\/p>\n
He received a letter in late February of the Border Services Agency (FSA) asking him to appear March 5 at the local office of the FSA, told AFP his lawyer, Philippe Larochelle.<\/p>\n
Upon his arrival, Dereva was arrested under an international arrest warrant issued by Rwanda, which accuses him of being part of the extremist Interahamwe militia. Dereva was transferred to a detention center for illegal immigrants in Laval.<\/p>\n
“He was released on bail Wednesday at a hearing,” said Larochelle.<\/p>\n
His lawyer said Dereva was acquitted by courts Rwandan “gacaca”, charged with trying almost all of the alleged perpetrators of the genocide against Tutsis in 1994.<\/p>\n
Recall that in late January, Mugesera had been removed from Canada indicted by the Rwandan justice planning and incitement to genocide and distributing weapons.<\/p>\n
Mugesera, 59, was claimed by the Rwandan justice system since 1995 to a famous speech in November 1992 at a rally of his party.<\/p>\n
Rwandan authorities believe that this speech is one of the triggers of genocide against the Tutsis, in which people who participated in the genocide killed up to over a million people. In that speech, Mugesera characterized the Tutsi “cockroaches.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
