{Survivors of the Genocide against Tutsi living in The Netherlands are jubilating after a Dutch media regulatory organ ruled in their favour following a complaint against a misleading article on Genocide.}<\/p>\n

Ibuka, an umbrella of Genocide survivors, had complained against an article titled; \u201cIk een moordenaar\u201d (Me a murderer?) authored by a freelance journalist, Anneke Verbraeken.<\/p>\n

Ibuka says the article, which was published in a Dutch media outlet Vrij Nederland, portrayed Jean Claude Iyamuremye as a victim, yet he is a genocide perpetrator.<\/p>\n

Iyamuremye is facing an extradition case in Netherlands, but Verbraeken , an anti-Rwanda propagandist, portrayed him in her article as a victim rather than a suspect.<\/p>\n

The Netherlands Media Council ruled Tuesday that the author exhibited a \u201ctendentious, activist and non-truthful image\u201d and added that, \u201cthe journalist is free to express personal opinions, but in this article the author didn\u2019t clarify distinction between facts, allegations and her personal opinions.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Dutch media regulatory organ further concluded the author made biased reporting and provided inaccurate information.<\/p>\n

In June 2014, the Dutch Supreme Court ruled that, The Netherlands is allowed to extradite Jean Claude Iyamuremye 38, a Genocide suspect to Rwanda.<\/p>\n

Thus, he was set to be the very first Rwandan to be extradited, out of an estimated 20 genocide suspects living in The Netherlands. The extradition has not yet taken place.<\/p>\n

Iyamuremye will be extradited to answer genocide crimes he allegedly committed at former ETO Kicukiro in Kigali, where thousands of Tutsi were slaughtered in the 1994 Genocide against Tutsi.<\/p>\n

In August 2015, Members of Parliament from The Netherlands, a country known for supporting Rwanda\u2019s justice system visited Rwanda and said their country is weighing out extraditing Genocide suspects on their soil.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are not a country where criminals should expect safe haven. But we are a country of peace and we need to always strike a balance between the two,\u201d Sharon Sesthuizen, the head of delegation said.<\/p>\n
