Rwandan genocide suspect Felicien Kabuga, arrested this month after more than two decades on the run, told a French court on Wednesday that the international charges against him were lies.
Asked if he understood the charges, Kabuga told the court through an interpreter: “All of this is lies.
The UN tribunal’s chief prosecutor has requested Kabuga be handed over.
The international court was politically biased and Kabuga was too frail to be transferred, they said.
“If we want to see through this trial—and he wants that because he doesn’t want to go down in history as someone who carried out genocide—then the best thing would be for him to face justice here,” Kabuga’s lawyers told the judges.
