“Yes, the charge was brought against a US citizen Suedi Murekezi, who participated in pro-Ukrainian and anti-Russian rallies in Kherson. He is charged with inciting ethnic hatred,” the agency interlocutor said.

The lawyer noted that his client allegedly accidentally found himself in the epicenter of events. “As he says, for the first time he left the house, approached the rally, stood for a few minutes and left. Another time I went to the grocery store,” the human rights activist explained.

Suedi Murekezi is an American citizen arrested in Kherson in June 2022. In 1994, together with his family, he moved to the United States against the backdrop of the Rwandan Tutsi genocide. He lived in Minnesota, settled in Kherson a few years ago. According to his lawyer, despite his military past in the United States, Murekezi did not participate in military operations on the territory of Donbass, and in Kherson he worked part-time in nightclubs.
