On Friday, July 17, 2026, the Paris Assize Court issued a ruling in the appeal of Eugène Rwamucyo. The Rwandan physician was sentenced to 27 years of criminal imprisonment. He was found complicit in genocide and crimes against humanity. The charges stem from his involvement in the 1994 genocide against the Tutsis. Specifically, he is accused of supervising the burial of thousands of victims in the Butare region. This appellate decision upholds the same sentence previously handed down in 2024. The conviction highlights ongoing judicial efforts to prosecute perpetrators of the Rwandan genocide.
