A Parisian court has begun proceedings against a Rwandan doctor who has been living in the country, over his alleged role in the 1994 genocide in Rwanda.
The doctor, Sosthene Munyemana, had an arrest warrant issued by Interpol, and was wanted for charges including genocide and crimes against humanity. He had lived and worked in a hospital located in south-west France for the last 10 years.
Having applied for asylum in 2008, it was rejected and Rwanda requested to extradite Munyemana. However, French authorities turned it down in 2010 claiming he would not be given a fair trial and instead have charged him through the French courts.

Sri Lanka is one of the most dangerous places in the world to be a journalist. Tamil journalists are particularly at threat, with at least 41 media workers known to have been killed by the Sri Lankan state or its paramilitaries during and after the armed conflict.
Despite the risks, our team on the ground remain committed to providing detailed and accurate reporting of developments in the Tamil homeland, across the island and around the world, as well as providing expert analysis and insight from the Tamil point of view
