A Rwandan national has been arrested in Ohio for hiding his role as a perpetrator of the 1994 genocide in his home country.
An estimated 500,000 to 800,000 ethnic Tutsis and moderate Hutus were killed during the three-month-long ethnic cleansing campaign.
Vincent Nzigiyimfura, also known as Vincent Mfura, 65, was arrested in Dayton on Wednesday after a federal grand jury returned a three-count indictment charging him with lying on his U.S. immigration and naturalization applications.
The Department of Justice said in a press release about the case, “Nzigiyimfura participated in the genocide that took place between April and July 1994, when members of Rwanda’s majority Hutu population killed hundreds of thousands of the country’s minority Tutsi ethnic group in an attempt to eradicate the ethnic group.”
