英国当局于9月21日逮捕并指控一名65岁男子涉嫌参与1994年卢旺达种族灭绝1。该男子面临一项种族灭绝从犯罪和六项反人类罪的控罪1。英国首席检控官弗兰克·弗格森表示，该男子"被指控指挥并煽动他人实施谋杀和种族灭绝行为"1。
这是英国首次针对卢旺达种族灭绝事件进行此类逮捕1。被指控男子原籍基加利，1998年以难民身份进入英国，2004年获得英国公民身份后改名1。男子曾于2006年因与种族灭绝的关联被逮捕，2017年英国法院中止了他对卢旺达的引渡1。反恐警察指挥官海伦·弗兰根表示，"此案表明英国不是涉嫌国际犯罪人士的避难所"1。
British authorities arrested and charged a 65-year-old man on September 21 over his suspected involvement in the 1994 Rwandan genocide, marking the first such prosecution of its kind in the United Kingdom 1. The defendant faces one count of genocide as an accomplice and six counts of crimes against humanity 1.
The man, originally from Kigali, entered the UK as a refugee in 1998 and obtained British citizenship in 2004, after which he changed his name 1. Prosecutors allege that he directed and incited others to commit murders and acts of genocide 1. He was previously arrested in 2006 in connection with the genocide, but a 2017 British court decision halted his extradition to Rwanda 1.
The 1994 Rwandan genocide resulted in the deaths of more than 800,000 Tutsis and moderate Hutus over a 100-day period 1. Britain's Chief Prosecutor Frank Ferguson stated that the defendant was "accused of directing and inciting others to commit murder and genocide" 1. Counter-terrorism police commander Helen Flangen emphasized that "this case demonstrates that the UK is not a safe haven for those suspected of international crimes" 1.
