A former Rwandan soldier faces deportation from Canada, over allegations that he committed war crimes more than 20 years ago.
Canadian authorities carried out a pre-removal risk assessment on Henri Jean-Claude Seyoboka, which recommended he be deported to Rwanda and face trial for possible war crimes. A federal judge has upheld the assessment and denied a review.
"It is now time for him to face his past actions, and let justice run its course," said Federal Court Judge Danièle Tremblay-Lamer.
Mr Seyoboka, who has lived in Canada since 1996, was part of the Rwandan armed forces and was deployed with the artillery unit fighting the Rwandan Patriotic Front.
During his deployment, he allegedly manned roadblocks, with the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR) stating a witness named Mr Seyoboka as murdering his neighbour and her two children.
