Rwanda will try the case of Pheneas Munyarugarama a genocide suspect after the Appeals Chamber of the International Residual Mechanism for Criminal Tribunals refered the case to Rwanda.
John Bosco Siboyintore, the Head of Genocide Fugitive Tracking Unit said, “It is the seventh case sent to Rwanda by the International Residual Mechanism. We will receive his file in the next 30 days.”
Munyarugarama who remains at large, was charged before the ICTR with genocide, complicity in genocide, direct and public incitement to commit genocide, as well as extermination, murder, persecution, and rape as crimes against humanity.
He was the commander of Gako military camp and the highest ranking military officer in the Bugesera region, formerly Kigali-Rural prefecture.
