Belgium has handed over a former Rwandan finance minister to the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR) in Tanzania, to face charges of involvement in his country's 1994 genocide.
Mr Emmanuel Ndindabahizi (51) who served in the Rwandan interim government between April and June 1994, is accused of participating in massacres of ethnic Tutsi refugees in Kibuye Prefecture in western Rwanda.
In May and June 1994, Mr Emmanuel Ndindabahizi toured the communes of Gitesi, Gishyita and Mabanza and gave instructions to the local administration, the militia and local residents to kill persons identified as Tutsi, the prosecutor's indictment states.
He is also accused of participating in massacres at Bisesero and in Gitwa hills. An estimated 30,000 Tutsis died in the hills around Bisesero.
Mr Ndindabahizi was arrested in Belgium in July this year, and arrived at the Arusha-based United Nations Detention Facility late yesterday.
The date of his initial appearance before the tribunal has not been announced.
More than 800,000 Tutsis and Hutu moderates were killed in the 1994 genocide in Rwanda which lasted just three months.
