761,000 accused in Rwanda

The secretary general of the Rwandan justice ministry said yesterday that at least 761,000 people should stand trial for their role in the country's 1994 genocide.

General Johnston Busingye claimed that nearly a 10th of the 8.2 million population had been identified as having a role in the 100 days of violence in which more than 500,000 minority Tutsis and Hutu moderates died.

If you haven't yet seen the film, Hotel Rwanda, you should. And if you haven't read Philip Gourevich's account of the genocide and its affects on the country, you should do that too.
