Dr Vincent Brown, a 65-year-old former medical doctor from Islington, north London, faces a £100,000 bail requirement for alleged involvement in the 1994 Rwanda genocide. On Monday, at the Old Bailey, Judge Mark Lucraft KC granted conditional bail with enhanced conditions, including daily reporting to police and electronic monitoring.
Brown is accused of leading or supervising the killing of Tutsi ethnic group members and a taxi driver, as well as the death of a mother and her young son. The alleged crimes took place between April 6 and 13. Brown, who denies the charges, was charged after a seven-year British investigation. He is the first individual in the UK to be charged over the genocide.
The judge imposed a £100,000 bail condition, up from the previous £25,000 surety. Brown must surrender his passport and national identity cards, cannot seek travel documents, and is subject to a curfew, with his address in London as his residence. He must also report daily to the police. Brown's background includes serving on the Refugee Nurses Task Force and working for a London-based charity aiding refugees from Rwanda.
The next appearance is set for October 9, and ongoing inquiries seek to address other alleged genocide offenses in Rwanda.
