KIGALI, Nov. 10 (Xinhua) -- A Rwandan man indicted over alleged crimes during the 1994 genocide against the Tutsi arrived in Rwanda Monday after being deported from the United States, local authorities said.
Jean Leonard Teganya was indicted in 2014 for his alleged involvement in the crimes of genocide and crimes against humanity during the 1994 genocide against the Tutsi, Rwanda's National Public Prosecution Authority said in a statement.
The alleged crimes were committed in southern Rwanda's Butare town in Huye District.
Born in 1971 in Gatumba sector of Ngororero District in western Rwanda, Teganya was a medical student at the National University of Rwanda and an intern at the University Hospital of Butare during the genocide, the statement said.
In 2019, Teganya was convicted by a federal jury in Boston for immigration fraud and perjury in connection with his application for asylum in the United States and sentenced to 97 months in prison.
About one million people, mostly of the Tutsi community and moderate Hutus, were killed by Hutu extremists within 100 days during the genocide in 1994. ■
