(RSF/IFEX) – On 4 October 2005, the Rwandan authorities said they had agreed to transfer responsibility for carrying out the judicial investigation against Father Guy Theunis to Belgium at the latter’s request. The Belgian Foreign Ministry said the two countries would have “detailed talks on the technical modalities” for implementing this agreement. Theunis, who is Belgian, would be transferred back to Belgium as soon as the judicial investigation gets underway there. The former editor-in-chief of the Rwandan magazine “Dialogue”, Theunis was recently accused by the Rwandan authorities of having a role in planning and inciting the 1994 genocide. He is currently being held in the main prison in Kigali.
