A Belgian missionary appeared before one of Rwanda's grassroots gacaca courts yesterday to deny allegations of inciting genocide.
Guy Theunis, 60, who worked in Rwanda between 1970 and 1994, is accused of inciting mass murder by reprinting articles from a Hutu extremist newspaper, Kangura, in a magazine he edited.
Mr Theunis, who is the first foreigner to appear before a gacaca court, said: "I am astonished to hear all these allegations levelled against me. I never republished articles from Kangura, but just translated as part of press reviews."
