UK brings first charges over 1994 Rwanda genocide
–
Neutral summary
The UK has brought its first-ever charges in connection with the 1994 Rwanda genocide. Dr Vincent Brown, 65, formerly known as Vincent Bajinya, appeared at Westminster Magistrates' Court on Tuesday to face seven charges. He is accused of one count of being an ancillary to genocide and six offences of aiding crimes against humanity, relating to killings in Kigali in April 1994. Prosecutors allege Brown "directed and incited acts of murder and genocide carried out by others." The charges follow a seven-year investigation by the Metropolitan Police War Crimes Team, which began in September 2019 after a formal request from the Rwandan government. The investigation involved extensive international cooperation, and inquiries into six other individuals are ongoing. The genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda took place from April to July 1994, with an estimated 500,000 to 1.1 million people killed.
