From the BBC:
A judge in Spain has issued international arrest warrants for 40 Rwandan soldiers accused of mass killings following the 1994 genocide.
Judge Fernando Andreu also indicted them for the murder of nine Spanish citizens, including six missionaries.
He said he had evidence implicating Rwanda's current President Paul Kagame, who has immunity from prosecution.
Under Spanish law, a court can prosecute human rights crimes even if the alleged offences took place abroad.
