Some moves in Rwandan cases

For a long time, French courts were apathetic in dealing with their Rwandan cases, but they seem to suddenly seize some of them. On November 14, the appeals court of Paris ordered a former sub-prefect wanted for genocide to be handed over to the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR). This decision has been appealed and his extradition put on hold, according to Agence France Presse. Dominique Ntawukuriryayo was arrested October 16 in the south of France. His indictment was made public in Arusha in April 2007, two months before those of two other Rwandans also living in France, Wenceslas Munyeshyaka and Laurent Bucyibaruta [IJT-72]. The appeals court of Paris is set to look into those cases on November 21. It also decided, on November 13, to postpone considering the extradition request of a fourth Rwandan, Isaac Kamali, due to the strikes paralyzing Paris. Rwanda is requesting the extradition of Kamali, who has French citizenship. Finally, the AFP indicated on November 9 that the judicial inquiry opened in Evry into Agathe Habyarimana, the widow of the former Rwandan president, following a suit for complicity in genocide and crimes against humanity, will be transferred within a month to an investigating judge in Paris.
