Rwandan bishop ‘complicit in genocide’ can stay in UK

THE Court of Appeal ruled yesterday that a former Rwandan bishop accused of complicity in the country’s 1994 genocide has leave to remain in Britain.

Jonathan Ruhumuliza, 62, was said to have had “many meetings with the Interahamwe [Hutu militia] and members of the interim government” during the mass killing which left 800,000 Tutsis dead.

He spoke at a press conference in Kenya in June 1994, blaming the opposition Rwandan Patriotic Front for the killings.
