Rwandan genocide suspect arrested in the Netherlands
A former Rwandan military official who is suspected of having played a role in the 1994 Rwandan genocide was arrested in the Netherlands on Tuesday, Dutch prosecuters said.
Pierre-Claver Karangwa, 67, was detained in a Dutch investigation into his role in the genocide, which prosecutors started after the Dutch Supreme Court in June this year said he could not be extradited to Rwanda out of fear of an unfair trial.
Rwanda has accused Karangwa of playing a key role in the massacre of nearly 30,000 Tutsis in Mugina parish near the Rwandan capital Kigali in April 1994 and had asked for his extradition in 2012. In a court case over his possible extradition in December 2022, Karangwa said he was innocent of the crimes he was accused of.
