LONDON (AFP) - A man wanted over his alleged involvement in the 1994 genocide in Rwanda is living in Britain and working as a physician, BBC television reported.
Dr Vincent Bajinya works for the London refugee support charity Praxis, which is supported by government money, and helps train refugee nurses.
He has served on a refugee taskforce for the British government and even attended a seminar with a minister, according to the report.
But the BBC said that the Rwandan authorities accuse him of organising, inciting and carrying out genocide and have prepared an extradition file for the British government.
They also quoted Rwandans from his local community who allege that he directed militiamen who killed Tutsi civilians.
When confronted by the BBC, Bajinya denied the allegations against him.
Around 800,000 mainly Tutsis -- about a tenth of Rwanda's population -- were killed within six weeks in Rwanda in 1994 by Hutu militants.
