Rwanda welcomes Denmark genocide extradition

Rwanda has welcomed a decision by Danish courts to uphold an extradition of a genocide suspect, after a decision was made on the defendant’s final appeal.

51-year-old Mbarushimana, who was arrested in Denmark in 2010, is wanted on charges of genocide, complicity in genocide, conspiracy to commit genocide, murder and extermination.
The verdict was described by Rwanda as "a vote of confidence in Rwanda's judicial system", and if extradited, will see Mbarushimana become the genocide second suspect to be sent back from Scandinavian countries.
