back to topLegally relevant facts
In 1994, through the armed conflict between the Rwandese government forces (FAR) and the Rwandese Patriotic Front (RPF) and the genocide on the Tutsis, hundreds of thousands of citizens in Rwanda were killed. About 75% of the Tutsi-population was erased. During these massacres in Rwanda, Anaclet Rwahama was leading Hutu soldiers.
back to topCourt's holding and analysis
In 1998 he was found “guilty of genocide, rape, breaking into homes and non-assistance to people in danger” in Kicukiro, a neighborhood of Kigali, between April and July 1994.
