Arrested and Suspended: Accused of genocide, a Rwandan professor tells Diverse his side of the story.

On Dec. 10, a NBC news camera crew barged into Dr. Leopold Munyakazi’s French classroom at Goucher College accompanied by a Rwandan prosecutor.

“They just rushed into my classroom with cameras everywhere,” says Munyakazi, 49.

The reporters asked the French professor how he responded to being charged with genocide in Rwanda.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about,” Munyakazi replied.

Munyakazi says he refused to talk to the camera crew. The next morning news crews knocked on the door of his college-owned two-story brick house across the street from the campus in Towson, Md. He didn’t answer.

Then a reporter and prosecutor visited school authorities with two international arrest warrants and a 21-page indictment.
