NGARA - Rwandan authorities have arrested at least 500 Hutu refugees accused of genocide. They were among the 340,000 refugees who returned from Tanzania this month, UN officials said yesterday.
Ms Anne Willem Bijleveld of the UNHCR said the refugees were arrested in Murambi commune, in north east Rwanda, in connection with the 1994 genocide of about 800,000 Tutsis and moderate Hutus.
