{{The Norwegian government has decided to send the genocide accused Charles Bandora to Rwanda so that he will face trial in his homeland.}}
Last week Mr Bandora was sentenced to 21 years imprisonment by the Oslo District court for participating in the 1994 genocide against Tutsi.
According to tv2.no, Bandora is said to be afraid whether he will get a fair trial in Rwanda and is asking the Norwegian government not to send him back to Rwanda.
According to Jean-Bosco Siboyintore of the Genocide suspects tracking unity, “There is a good deal for both countries in terms of extradition of suspects in cases of genocide, he said to TV 2.
As a response to Bandora’s and other European countries that have not yet extradited genocide suspects to Rwanda, Siboyintore remarked that Rwanda has taken many steps in recent years to improve the judicial system for a fair trial.
Many have hesitated to extradite to Rwanda. Norway is the first European country, and there is hope that others will follow.
According to the indictment, Charles Bandora participated in mass murder both as organizer and as hangman during the Rwanda genocide in 1994.
Until his arrest he operated businesses in Malawi.
Bandora was arrested on June 8 last year as he tried to enter Oslo Airport with fake identity, posing as Frank Kamwana, a Malawian national.
