Swedish prosecutors have charged a man over his alleged role in the 1994 Rwandan genocide.

The 60 year old suspect has not yet been named, but reportedly held a low level leadership role during the killings. If he is convicted, he would be the second person in Sweden to be found guilty of genocide, after another man was sentenced to life in prison in 2013 for his role in the Rwandan genocide.

Chief Prosecutor Tora Holst said in a statement on Friday:

The Indian government has cancelled a licence which allows Greenpeace India to receive donations from abroad, according to the organisation which campaigns for the environment.

"It is yet another attempt to silence campaigns for a more sustainable future and transparency in public processes," Greenpeace India said in a statement released late on Thursday.

Two British journalists with Vice News were released from Turkish custody on Thursday, however Iraqi journalist Mohammed Ismael Rasool remains in custody.

Jake Hanrahan and cameraman Philip Pendlebury were arrested in the Kurdish region near Diyarbakir last week and charged with "working on behalf of a terrorist organisation".

Turkey’s envoy to the European Union stated that the killing of over a million Armenians more than a century ago by the Ottoman Empire was a genocide.

Ali Haydar Konca, a parliamentarian with the Kurdish Peoples’ Democratic Party (HDP) said:

“The fact that genocide happened is explicit and clear and everybody accepts that. Right now, the issue is what it should be called. We will make a decision in our party about that.”
