Genocide suspect denied asylum in Canada

Issue No: 367



A Canadian Court has once again barred genocide suspect Henri Seyoboka from qualifying for political asylum.

The New Times reports that Seyoboka, a former soldier in the Forces Armees Rwandaise, had his refugee status revoked by the Canadian Immigration authorities after he failed to mention his military background. It was later claime that he participated in the 1994 genocide against the Tutsis in Rwanda.

The Federal Court of Canada ruled that he is excluded from refugee status as investigations into his background continue.
