The National Commission for the fight against Genocide CNLG has commended the repatriation of genocide suspect Jean Uwinkindi to Rwanda for subsequent trial within the Rwanda judiciary.
Mucyo Jean de Dieu the executive secretary of CNLG notes in a statement; “This is the first time one of the Genocide suspects at the International criminal tribunal at Arusha will be tried in Rwanda.”
CNLG Commission requests that all genocide perpetrators be pursued and it would be very important if they are brought and tried in Rwanda courts because the genocide crimes were committed in Rwanda.
CNLG further notes that there are those perpetrators that have already been sentenced at the ICTR-Arusha, the Commission requests that they should be repatriated to Rwanda to complete their sentences in Rwanda.
The CNLG commission also requests those perpetrators whose cases are still being heard at ICTR should also be brought to Rwanda as well to continue with their case proceedings within Rwanda judiciary.
CNLG calls upon countries providing safe haven to genocide fugitives to deport and hand them over to Rwanda for trial where they committed genocide crimes.
