The case of a Rwandan Baptist minister accused of genocide took a disturbing turn today when his defense argued that police tortured witnesses to extract evidence against him.
According to YLE:
The 57-year-old suspect sought political asylum in Finland in 2003. The man was arrested in 2007 on suspicion of planning, leading and implementing massacres. Suspicions were aroused in connection with a background study during the consideration of his asylum application.
Finland stands by its refusal to extradite the individual to Rwanda. He is in custody, however. Finland's National Bureau of Investigation expects to have its inquiry completed by summer. An extension of tomorrow's deadline for filing charges has been requested.
