A former hotel driver in Rwanda, who is accused of complicity in the 1994 genocide, went on trial in Paris today.
Claude Muhayimana is accused of transporting Hutu militiamen who massacred hundreds of Tutsis — one of the worst atrocities of the 20th century.
He moved to France, tried and failed to obtain asylum but became a French citizen in 2010. Muhayimana now faces a life sentence if convicted.
