- STOCKHOLM: Swedish prosecutors say a middle-aged man has been arrested in Sweden on suspicion of participating in the 1994 genocide in Rwanda.
- Prosecution spokeswoman Karin Rosander says the man, who holds dual Swedish-Rwandan citizenship, was arrested at an airport earlier this week.
Prosecutor Ewamari Haggkvist on Sunday requested that the court seek to keep the man in detention, pending prosecution. She said he has been arrested on suspicion of relation to genocide in Rwanda between April and July 1994, but wouldn’t give any more details.
Sweden has previously tried to extradite another man to Rwanda on genocide charges. The country’s Supreme Court, however, eventually freed that man due to the length of his detention. He had then been held for around three years.
