E.Mbarushimana to be tried in Rwanda

The National Public Prosecution Authority  informs the General Public that, today the Danish Supreme Court delivered its decision in the case of Extradition of Mr. Emmanuel MBARUSHIMANA to Rwanda to be prosecuted for his alleged participation in the 1994 genocide committed against Tutsi.

The Supreme Court has confirmed the previous decisions of the City Court of ROSKILDE and Eastern High Court of Denmark.

The Suspect has exhausted all ways of appeal in Denmark and it will now be the Danish Ministry of Justice to organize with the Government of Rwanda on when Mr. Emmanuel MBARUSHIMANA should be extradited to face trial in Rwanda.

On behalf of the Government of Rwanda, the NPPA would like to thank the Kingdom of Denmark for the significant vote of confidence it has given to the Rwandan justice system.

The suspect is charged with genocide, complicity in genocide, conspiracy to commit genocide, murder and extermination committed in the former MUGANZA Commune, former Prefecture of Butare.
