Léon Mugesera deported to Rwanda 20 years after anti-Tutsi speech

A resident of Quebec City named Léon Mugesera has been accused of genocide and deported back to Rwanda.

According to CBC, Mugesera gave an anti-Tutsi speech in 1992 that was used as propaganda in the Rwandan genocide.

Rwanda’s prosecutor general Martin Ngoga told CBC that even though there’s substantial evidence against him, Mugesera will be given a fair trial.

He’s set to land in Kigali later today. Ngoga told CBC that the trial would begin immediately.
