In France, a former doctor involved in the Rwandan genocide sentenced to 27 years.

Former Rwandan doctor Eugène Rwamucyo was sentenced to 27 years in prison for participating in the Tutsi genocide in 1994. He was charged with spreading Hutu government's slogans and participating in the burial of victims in mass graves. Rwamucyo became the eighth Rwandan to be tried in France for the Tutsi genocide.

During the trial, Rwamucyo's public speech on May 14, 1994, in the presence of then Prime Minister Jean Kambanda, was used as evidence. His lawyer plans to appeal the verdict.

The Rwandan genocide is the actions of the interim government of Rwanda, which came to power after a military coup, against representatives of the Tutsi and Hutu people. This crime claimed the lives of about 800,000 people, including 10% of the Hutu.

One of the main suspects in the genocide denies their involvement in the crime, which France opposed. President Emmanuel Macron recognized that his country did not do enough to prevent or stop the genocide, but no official apology was made.

In Nigeria, 29 children who participated in protests against the economic crisis face the death penalty. All of them are minors aged 14 to 17. Charges were announced against 76 protesters, including teenagers, under the article "treason, destruction of property, and rebellion".
