BBC spokesperson refutes Rwanda genocide denial allegations

Kamuzinzi 12/10/2014 BBC spokesperson refutes Rwanda genocide denial allegations2014-10-12T00:52:38+00:00 AFRICA, DEMOCRACY & FREEDOMS, JUSTICE AND RECONCILIATION, LATEST NEWS No Comment

A BBC spokesperson said: "The BBC strongly refutes the suggestion that any part of the programme constitutes a 'denial of the genocide against the Tutsi'. There are repeated references to the mass killings of Tutsis by Hutus in 1994 and that this constituted genocide. The programme also includes an interview with the Director of the Genocide Museum at Murambi, a Tutsi and genocide survivor, and a convicted Hutu genocidaire who spoke of his part in the killing of thousands of Tutsis.

"The BBC has a duty to investigate difficult and challenging subjects and we believe the programme is a valuable contribution to the understanding of the tragic history of the country and the region, and of the governance of Rwanda over the last 20 years."
