UK Charges Man Over Alleged Rwanda Genocide Offences
A 65-year-old Rwandan man, Vincent Brown (formerly Vincent Bajinya), has been charged in the UK with genocide-related offences linked to the 1994 Rwandan Tutsi killings. British prosecutors accuse him of one count of conduct ancillary to genocide and six counts of conduct ancillary to murder as crimes against humanity. The Crown Prosecution Service stated Brown allegedly directed and incited acts of murder and genocide. He is scheduled to appear in London's Westminster Magistrates' Court on September 22. These are the first UK charges related to the Rwandan genocide.
