PARIS (Reuters) – Police said they had arrested two Rwandans living in exile in France who are wanted by an international court trying suspects in Rwanda's 1994 genocide.
Cleric Wenceslas Munyeshyaka was detained in Gisors, some 60 km (38 miles) northwest of Paris, where he has been living since 2001.
Munyeshyaka, formerly head of the Sainte-Famille parish in Kigali, was sentenced in absentia to life imprisonment last November by a military tribunal that found him guilty of complicity in genocide and rape.
The second Rwandan, Laurent Bucyibaruta, was detained in a village in the Champagne area near Troyes, 140 km (87 miles) southeast of Paris, where he has lived several years with his wife and children.
