Top Rwanda genocide suspect arrested in DRC
Ladislas Ntaganzwa expected to be sent to Rwanda for trial years after
fleeing to DRC under protection of FDLR rebels.
10 Dec 2015 14:59 GMT
One of nine top fugitive Rwandan genocide suspects, a former mayor accused of crimes against humanity, has been arrested in the Democratic Republic of Congo, the United Nations has said.
Ladislas Ntaganzwa is accused of organising "the massacre of thousands of Tutsis at various locations", the UN-backed Mechanism for International Criminal Tribunals (MICT) said in a statement issued on Thursday, a day after the arrest.
"He was also alleged to have orchestrated rape and sexual violence committed against many women," the statement said. No details of his arrest were given.
About 800,000 people - mostly members of the minority Tutsi community - were slaughtered in the 100-days of violence in 1994, largely by ethnic Hutus.
