Rwanda's President Paul Kagame has said a Spanish judge who issued arrest warrants for 40 Rwandan army officers can "go to hell".
Mr Kagame described judge Fernando Andreu as "arrogant".
Judge Andreu accuses the officers of carrying out killings during Rwanda's genocide in 1994.
Mr Kagame said Judge Andreu had not distinguished between genocide perpetrators, and those who stopped it, such as his own forces.
The judge issued the arrest warrants in February, accusing the officers of genocide, terrorism and crimes against humanity.
He investigated the matter after a human rights group filed a complaint.
Under Spanish law, a court can prosecute alleged human rights crimes, even if they take place abroad.
