The Supreme Court will decide this week on whether five men accused of taking part in the 1994 Rwandan genocide will be extradited from Britain, to face charges in Rwanda.
The suspects were all arrested in May 2013, after having lived in the United Kingdom for more than a decade.
Though they were to be extradited to Rwanda, the men all appealed against the decision, citing that they would not be granted a fair trial in the country. A decision was due in October 2013, but the complexity of the trial has led to several delays.
Amongst the suspects is a doctor who became a British citizen in 2006. He is accused of being a militia organiser, who helped set up road blocks preventing Tutsis from escaping from Hutu militias.
Some 800,000 people were killed during the genocide.
