The French government has arrested a man suspected of genocide and crimes against humanity in Rwanda, according to reports.

Innocent Musabyimana was arrested on Tuesday by French authorities whilst working as a delivery driver. Despite having a warrant issued for his arrests by the Rwandan government in November 2012, French authorities and anti-genocide campaigners claim to have little information about the man.

His arrest comes as Rwanda's Prosecutor General slammed the French government over the slow progress in arresting genocide suspects on their territory.

Sri Lanka is one of the most dangerous places in the world to be a journalist. Tamil journalists are particularly at threat, with at least 41 media workers known to have been killed by the Sri Lankan state or its paramilitaries during and after the armed conflict.

Despite the risks, our team on the ground remain committed to providing detailed and accurate reporting of developments in the Tamil homeland, across the island and around the world, as well as providing expert analysis and insight from the Tamil point of view
