Scholar Says Rwandan Massacres Were Class War; Faces Deportation
by Ann Garrison
“There's no dispute that Professor Munyakazi will be detained upon his arrival in Rwanda. I believe that he will suffer torture.”
Supporters of suspended Goucher College French Professor Léopold Munyakazi are urgently trying to stop his deportation to Rwanda because they feel it would lead to his imprisonment, torture and/or death. The Rwandan government accused Professor Munyakazi of genocide after he made several speeches in which he said that the Rwandan massacres that took place between 1990 and 1994 were not genocide. He said instead that Rwandans are one people sharing the same language and culture and that the war and massacres grew out of a long smoldering class conflict in which the social classes were labeled as Tutsi, Hutu, and Twa.
