Family members and friends of suspected genocide fugitive and businessman Charles Bandora yet to be deported from Norway to Rwanda protested over the weekend in the streets of Belgium against the deportation plans.
According to a communiqué from a supreme court in Belgium, Bandora’s case would be appropriately dealt with Rwanda’s jurisdiction.
Bandora is accused of conducting killings and looting activities in Ruhana sector, Bugesera district during the Rwanda’s 1994 Tutsi Genocide.
During the war, Bandora was known to be among the richest men in the sector and a party official of MRND the then ruling political party which most of its members oversaw ethnic killings in their respective strongholds.
The genocide suspect was arrested in Norway 8th January 2010, on accounts of entering the country illegally, and then Rwanda immediately sent indictments to prosecute Bandora in his motherland.
November last year the Norway’s Oslo Supreme Court denied Bandora’s appeal not to be deported, however the court hasn’t given a specific date the suspect’s transfer to Rwandan authorities.
