Ohio Man Arrested for Alleged Role in Rwandan Genocide

Eric Nshimiye, a Rwandan-born Ohio man, has been arrested and charged with concealing his involvement in the 1994 Rwandan genocide to enter the United States as a refugee and gain U.S. citizenship. Prosecutors allege that he participated in the massacre and later sought to derail investigations into his actions by lying at an immigration fraud trial. Nshimiye's arrest comes four years after the trial conviction of his former classmate, Jean Leonard Teganya, for similar charges.
