Prosecution could suspend cooperation with Denmark

Prosecutor General Martin Ngoga, on Thursday, announced that the National Public Prosecution Authority (NPPA) shall not cooperate with Denmark if it does not charge a Rwandan suspect under its custody with Genocide. The move follows a decision by a Copenhagen court which dismissed a case against the fugitive on the basis that the country’s law on genocide cannot be used to prosecute a Rwandan accused of participating in the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi. The ruling meant that the suspect will instead be charged with the subsidiary charge of murder.
