return to Rwanda. It further notes, however, that the information presented by the
complainant does not contain any specific reference to allegations of torture of Rwandan
returnees under the Transfer Law to be tried for acts of genocide. 24 The Committee notes
that the complainant has not provided any concrete information or evidence that would

that the complainant’s extradition to Rwanda would not expose him to treatment contrary to
article 3 of the Convention.

article 3 of the Convention.
