Genocide suspect extradited from Germany to Rwanda

A Rwandan genocide suspect was extradited from Germany to face charges for his involvement in the massacre of over 800,000 Tutsis in 1994. 

The suspect, identified as Jean Twagiramungu was handed over to Rwandan authorities on Friday at Kigali International airport, AP reported.  

He had tried to prevent the extradition arguing that he would not receive a fair trial in Rwanda.

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
