Kigali, 24 January 2012---The Government of Rwanda has welcomed the deportation of Leon Mugesera from Canada more than 16 years after Rwanda issued a warrant for his arrest on suspicion of inciting genocide through a now infamous speech made in 1992.

It’s official. Léon Mugesera, the man who has dramatically fought a legal battle against deportation to Rwanda, for nearly two decades, is finally on a Kigali-bound plane. The 59-year old Genocide suspect was put on the plane by Canadian authorities from Trudeau Airport, Montreal, last night, just hours after losing his latest bid against a longstanding deportation order.

Reports from Canada, on Sunday, indicated that Genocide fugitive Leon Mugesera was detained upon his release from a Quebec City hospital on Saturday afternoon.
