A group representing survivors of the Rwandan genocide Tuesday expressed anger and disappointment at a UN appeal court ruling that a suspect should be urgently considered for release after he was declared unfit for trial.

The Ibuka association representing survivors slammed the decision in the case of former business tycoon Felicien Kabuga, accused of setting up a hate broadcaster that fuelled the 1994 slaughter of around 800,000 people.
