Eugène Rwamucyo's genocide complicity conviction re-examined in Paris appeal
Eugène Rwamucyo, previously sentenced to 27 years for complicity in genocide, is undergoing an appeal at the Paris Assize Court, where he continues to deny the charges.
Eugène Rwamucyo, who received a 27-year prison sentence for complicity in genocide, is once again before the Paris Assize Court for an appeal. During his initial trial, the court found him unequivocally guilty, with the presiding judge noting that the severity of the crimes he was deemed responsible for necessitated a significant penalty, irrespective of his personal background or professional standing. Rwamucyo consistently denies the accusations of his involvement in the genocide. The current proceedings in Paris will re-examine the evidence presented in the case.
