RWANDA\/FRANCETransferred cases \u201cunreasonably slow\u201d: Civil parties and defence say two genocide cases transferred to France by the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR) are going \u201cunreasonably\u201d slowly, according to a report published Monday on the website of the Mechanism for International Criminal Tribunals (MICT). The cases of former Kigali priest Wenceslas Munyeshyaka and former prefect of Gikongoro Laurent Bucyibaruta were transferred to France in November 2007. The two men are currently living in France, outside detention but under judicial surveillance.<\/p>\n
Paris Appeals Court approves Rwandan extraditions: For the first time in its history, the Paris Appeals Court on Wednesday authorized the extradition of Rwandans wanted by their country for suspected participation in the 1994 genocide. Breaking with several previous decisions on the issue, the Court deemed that Claude Muhayimana and Innocent Musabyimana would get a fair trial in Rwanda and that their lives would not be in danger. The two men announced they would now appeal to the Court of Cassation, France\u2019s highest court.<\/p>\n
