Canada: Jacques Mungwarere

Jacques Mungwarere: Former school teacher Jacques Mungwarere was found not guilty Friday in Canada's second trial under the Crimes Against Humanity and War Crimes Act, according to CTV. He claimed the accusations against him were fabricated. His lawyer said Mungwarere was fingered as a potential murderer three weeks after he agreed to testify for the defence at the trial of another Rwandan in the United States and OTTAWA -- A man who came to Canada in 2001 as a refugee from the terrible Rwandan slaughters of 1994 has been acquitted on charges that he participated in the very genocide he fled. He was acquitted on one count of genocide by murder, and on one count of crimes against humanity by murder, after a 26-week trial by judge alone. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
