Rwandan genocide figure Felicien Kabuga arraigned in Paris days after police swooped down on his hideout, ending a 26-year manhunt
In this Friday, April 5, 2019 file photo, family photographs of some of those who died hang on display in an exhibition at the Kigali Genocide Memorial centre in the capital Kigali, Rwanda.
The prosecutor was to set out the legal process before the case is passed to investigative judges who will decide whether to transfer Kabuga to a UN court handling alleged crimes against humanity. "He was our Klaus Barbie, our Eichmann," said Etienne Nsanzimana, president of support group Ibuka France, referring to two prominent Nazi war criminals.
Reuters has not been able to find any public comment made by Kabuga over the years about the charges. French lawyer Emmanuel Altit, who will be defending Kabuga, did not respond to a request seeking comment from his client.
