Fulgence Kayishema, a suspect in the 1994 Rwandan genocide, was arrested in South Africa after 22 years on the run. He is alleged to have orchestrated the killing of more than 2,000 people at the Nyange church in Rwanda during the 100 days of the genocide. The arrest is a major step forward in the effort to bring those responsible for the genocide to justice, and the IRMCT is continuing its investigation into the Rwandan genocide.
Paul Rusesabagina, the man who inspired the Hollywood film “Hotel Rwanda”, has had his 25-year sentence commuted by the Rwandan government. The commutation was welcomed by many, and was facilitated by the US and Qatar governments. The conviction still stands, but it is hoped that the clemency will bring closure to this long-running saga.
