A Rwandan due to give evidence in France on the shooting down of former president Juvenal Habyarimana’s plane — the incident seen as sparking the genocide 20 years ago — has been kidnapped, his lawyer claimed on Wednesday.
Emile Gafirita was handcuffed and taken away by unknown persons in the Kenyan capital Nairobi on November 13, his lawyer Francois Cantier told AFP.
“The Kenyan police have denied he was arrested, so he has clearly been kidnapped,” said Cantier. “My sole concern is that they let him live and he is released.”
