Semanza iscurrently on trial before the ICTR. Bisengimana is charged with genocide, conspiracy to commit genocide, direct and public incitement to commit genocide, murder, extermination, torture, rape and other inhumane acts as crimes against humanity. He is also charged with war crimes under the Geneva Conventions. ICTR spokesman Kingsley Moghalu said this was the tenth ICTR arrest of a Rwandan genocide suspect this year. Arrests have been carried out both in Africa and in Europe. Apart from Bisengimana, two of the others have not yet been transferred to the Tribunal: musician Simon Bikindi, who is in The Netherlands; and former army officer Aloys Simba who is in Senegal.
