Ugandan police arrested a Rwandan genocide suspect on Thursday after following him for many months.

Thaddee Kwitonda, now a Belgium citizen, is wanted by a court in Belgium for his alleged involvement in the killings.

A spokesperson for the Ugandan police, Asuman Mugenyi told AFP,

"We had been trailing him since March because we had information that he was here, and that he had changed his name and was shifting his addresses here."

"We are still working on what to do with him. It is Belgium that has issued the warrant for him and not Rwanda."

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
