Ministers face genocide charges
Four senior cabinet ministers from the former Rwandan government went on trial today before a UN tribunal for helping plan and instigate the 1994 genocide that left more than 500,000 people dead.
Prosecutors appearing before The International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda in Arusha, Tanzania, said the four men “took part in the formulation and supported the adoption and implementation by the interim government of decisions, policies and directives for the perpetration of the killing of Tutsis”.
