A Rwandan doctor suspended from his job in a French hospital last week after a nurse discovered he was wanted for genocide has protested his innocence.

Eugene Rwamucyo, who has been wanted by Interpol since 2006, said that he was a victim of injustice.

The authorities in Rwanda allege Dr Rwamucyo committed war crimes during the 1994 genocide.

The director of the hospital in the northern French town of Maubeuge said the whole community was in shock.
