Rwanda genocide suspect transferred to UN tribunal
Jean-Bosco Uwinkindi, the Rwandan genocide suspect arrested on Wednesday in Uganda, has been transferred to the UN tribunal in Arusha, Tanzania, an official said on Sunday.
"He arrived on Friday late in the day. He will appear before a judge very shortly," International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda spokesman Roland Amoussouga told AFP.
Uwinkindi, born in 1951, is a pentecostal pastor.
In 2001 he was indicted by the UN-backed ICTR for genocide, conspiracy to commit genocide and extermination as a crime against humanity.
Until his arrest in western Uganda on Wednesday, Uwinkindi was among 11 suspects still at large and wanted by the ICTR, based in Tanzania's northern town of Arusha.
