However, the federal court there dismissed his appeal against transfer to the ICTR. Rukundo is the first catholic clergyman to be arrested by the ICTR. A catholic priest, Athanase Seromba, has also been indicted and the ICTR is pressing Italy to arrest him. Already in detention are an Anglican bishop, Samuel Musabyimana, and a Seventh Day Adventist pastor, Elizaphan Ntakirutimana. Pastor Elizaphan's joint trial with his son began before the ICTR last Tuesday. The ICTR Prosecutor charges Rukundo with four counts of genocide or, alternatively complicity in genocide; murder and extermination as crimesagainst humanity.
