Rwandan leader's widow denied asylum in France
The widow of Rwanda's former president Juvenal Habyarimana, whose murder sparked the 1994 genocide, has had a plea for asylum turned down by France because she may have played a part in encouraging the killings, officials said Thursday. An appeal body confirmed a January 4 ruling by the refugee office OFPRA, which said that Agathe Habyarimana may have taken part "as a instigator or accomplice" in the "crime of genocide". Habyarimana, who has lived in France since she was evacuated by French troops after the genocide, applied for asylum in 2004.Posted by: Seafarious 2007-02-16 |
