KIGALI, Rwanda
The Rwanda National Public Prosecution Authority (NPPA) on Tuesday, March 4, confirmed the deportation of Ahmed Napoleon Mbonyunkiza from the United States.
Mbonyunkiza, 57, was deported
after serving a 15-year prison sentence in the U.S. for sexual assault-related
offenses.
He was, in 2007, tried and
convicted, in absentia, by the Nyakabanda Gacaca Court for his role in the 1994
Genocide against the Tutsi.
“NPPA commends the U.S.A.
judicial authorities for their cooperation in deporting genocide fugitives,
their ongoing assistance in matters of mutual legal support, and their
contribution to the global fight against impunity,” the statement reads.
His deportation is part of
ongoing international efforts to bring genocide perpetrators to justice.
