Written question asked by Lord Mendelsohn (Labour) on Wednesday, 22 January 2025, in the House of Lords. It was due for an answer on Wednesday, 5 February 2025. It was answered by Lord Hanson of Flint (Labour) on Monday, 10 February 2025 on behalf of the Home Office.
Genocide: Rwanda
- Question
-
To ask His Majesty's Government what information they have about the five Rwandan genocide suspects named in an extradition judgment and currently living in the UK.
- Answer
-
I refer Lord Mendelsohn to UIN 249920 and UIN HL787, where similar questions were posed.
The Metropolitan Police Service (MPS) War Crimes Unit is a dedicated specialist unit which investigates and prosecutes people living in the UK suspected of committing war crimes and crimes against humanity in line with universal jurisdiction and the CPS Counter Terrorism Division has the responsibility for prosecuting such crimes. Criminal investigations are an operational matter for law-enforcement agencies, and it would be inappropriate for me to comment any further.
I would invite Lord Mendelsohn to consider referring the second part of the question to the Attorney General and the Metropolitan Police for a response.
