Kigali International Airport: Leon Mugesera

Kigali Dept: The plane carrying Mugesera touched down just before 11:30 P.M. Kigali time, said James Munyaneza, an editor and columnist with the New Times newspaper, in a series of tweets from the tarmac at Kigali International Airport, amid what he described as tight security, according to CBC. Canadian and Rwandan officials concluded the handover of Mugesera minutes after his arrival, Munyaneza said and leon Mugesera, the long-time Quebec City resident accused of genocide in Rwanda, landed in Kigali late Tuesday night, and within minutes of his plane's touchdown, he was whisked away into the back of a waiting vehicle. "A few Kigalians have camped at the airport," Munyaneza tweeted earlier, adding they hoped to catch a glimpse of the man many accuse of inciting genocide in a speech he made a year before he fled to Canada and claimed refugee status in 1993.
