{The Canadian immigration and emigration office last week decided to transfer Henri Jean-Claude Seyoboka suspected of genocide crimes in Rwanda, 1994.}
Seyoboka who was a soldier met immigration and emigration officers in Montréal of Canada and informed him about his transfer to Rwanda for trial.
He told one of Canada’s radios that he was surprised by the decision since the immigration and emigration offices should have informed him before.
Seyoboka was allowed a refugee status in 1996 by Canada. The status was revoked after 10 years following evidence pinning him in the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR) in 2002. The testimony revealed that he killed his wife and her two children during the 1994 genocide perpetrated against Tutsi.
Seyoboka who has lived in Canada for 20 years denies all alleged crimes.The Rwandan government released arrest warrant of Seyoboka in 2014.
Canada has been transferring genocide suspects to be tried in Rwanda. These include Dr. Leon Mugesera, Télesphore Dereva among others.
