Alors qu’il enseignait \u00e0 l’universit\u00e9, il aurait \u00e9galement particip\u00e9 \u00e0 l’ex\u00e9cution de patients bless\u00e9s et aid\u00e9 \u00e0 les enterrer dans des fosses communes \u00ab\u00a0dans une ultime tentative pour d\u00e9truire les preuves du g\u00e9nocide\u00a0\u00bb, a d\u00e9clar\u00e9 l’accusation, citant des t\u00e9moignages.<\/p>\n
Ses avocats affirment que Rwamucyo nie toute malversation et soutiennent que les accusations sont motiv\u00e9es par son opposition au gouvernement rwandais actuel.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
