THE HAGUE, Netherlands ? The International Criminal Court says it has freed a Rwandan rebel and returned him to France after dismissing charges against him.
It is the first time that the court, based in The Hague, has released a detained suspect since it began work in 2002 as the world's first permanent war crimes tribunal.
Charges of murder, rape and torture against Callixte Mbarushimana were dropped last week for lack of evidence. The crimes were linked with actions by Rwandan rebels in neighboring Congo.
His release was delayed because he was the subject of a U.N. travel ban.
Mbarushimana had lived in Paris before his arrest in January. On Friday the court said he was "released on French territory, as he requested" through the cooperation of the Netherlands and France.
