A lawyer representing Erlinder, Kennedy Ogeto, said security guards at the airport in Kigali, the Rwandan capital, checked his and Erlinder’s travel bags twice before allowing them into the gate area to depart.
Ogeto did not offer more details about Erlinder’s travel plans.
Erlinder’s brother, Scott, said he expected him to fly from Kenya to Tanzania and Amsterdam before arriving in New York. Scott Erlinder said he thought his brother would have a news conference Tuesday in New York.
NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) – A U.S. lawyer released from a Rwandan prison on medical grounds says the U.S. Embassy did not help him secure food or medicine while he was in prison.
Peter Erlinder spoke to the media in Kenya on Sunday for the first time since his May 28 arrest.
The 62-year-old Minnesota law professor credited Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton for winning him medical bail after Clinton said Rwanda shouldn’t act against lawyers. 
Rwandan authorities detained Erlinder on suspicion of minimizing the country’s genocide but haven’t yet charged him. The 1994 genocide killed more than 500,000 Rwandans, mostly ethnic Tutsis. Erlinder said Sunday there was a genocide against Tutsis but added that evidence may show even more Hutus died.
