Legal status in Rwanda of double genocide theory should be mentioned[edit]

A 2008 Rwanda law on "Genocide ideology" has been used to prosecute and jail opponents of the ruling RPF party for making "false accusations" and "genocide denial." Double genocide theory would be only an extreme example of speech that is illegal under this law, which criminalizes any accusation that Tutsis committed crimes against Hutus during the Rwandan Civil War. For example, when 2010 presidential candidate Victoire Ingabire "allegedly called for the prosecution of those responsible for crimes against Hutus before, during,and after the 1994 Rwandan genocide...[s]he was immediately arrested, jailed and charged under the Rwandan law of genocide ideology" and sentenced to 8 years in prison. As of 2014, "1.3 million people .. have been prosecuted and condemned, some to death penalties" under this law. [1] HouseOfChange (talk) 15:47, 8 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
