Rwandan beekeeper arrested in US over genocide charges

A Rwandan beekeeper, Faustin Nsabumukunzi, has been arrested in the US for his alleged role in the 1994 Rwandan genocide, where he is accused of overseeing violence against Tutsis. At 65, he faces charges of visa and naturalisation fraud after lying about his involvement in the genocide when he sought refugee status in 2003; he has pleaded not guilty. Prosecutors allege he set up roadblocks to detain and kill Tutsis and was convicted in absentia in Rwanda, and if convicted in the US, he faces a maximum of 30 years in prison.
