KIGALI, Rwanda — A lawyer representing a U.S. attorney accused of minimizing Rwanda's 1994 genocide says his client is at the capital's airport to fly to Kenya just days after being granted bail on medical grounds.
Kennedy Ogeto says security guards checked the travel bags of Peter Erlinder and himself twice before they allowed them into the gate area.
Ogeto did not offer more details about the attorney's future travel plans.
Rwanda's prosecutor general has confirmed that Erlinder is free to travel to the United States.
Erlinder, a professor at William Mitchell College of Law in St. Paul, Minnesota, was arrested May 28 while in Rwanda to help with the legal defense of an opposition leader.
Erlinder, 62, has been hospitalized multiple times since his arrest.
