The Dutch national prosecutor said Saturday that two Rwandans living in the Netherlands accused of participating in the country's 1994 genocide would be extradited to their homeland. "Two Rwandan residents of the Netherlands, a 40-year-old from Voorburg and a 57-year-old from Leusden, will be extradited to Rwanda today," the prosecutor said in a statement.
Rwanda had demanded the extraditions of Jean-Claude Iyamuremye and Jean-Baptiste Mugimba in 2012 and 2013 respectively to face trial on charges of genocide and crimes against humanity.
