The CPCR mourns a founding member...

During the appeal trial of Dr. Eugène Rwamucyo at the Paris Assize Court, the French prosecution expressed deep gratitude to the Collectif des Parties Civiles pour le Rwanda (CPCR), praising its 25-year unwavering effort to track down individuals suspected of participating in the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi who fled to avoid justice.

UPDATE 17 JULY 2026: GUILTY! The appeal court in Paris has dismissed RWAMUCYO’s appeal against his original guilty verdict and upheld his 27 year sentence. At just past midnight, the accused was brought back into court to hear the verdict: he is found guilty of participating in an agreement to commit the crimes of genocide and crimes against humanity in the prefecture of BUTARE on the territory of Rwanda between April and July 1994. He was also found guilty of complicity in genocide in NGOMA, GISHAMVU, NDORA and HUYE and complicity in crimes against humanity in NGOMA, GISHAMVU, NDORA and HUYE.

Claude MUHAYIMANA was sentenced to 14 years’ imprisonment by the Paris Assize Court for complicity in genocide and crimes against humanity at his appeal trial which took place from February 3 to 27, 2026. In the initial trial on December 16, 2021, he had been sentenced to the same term. Both the defense and the prosecution had appealed. The sentence is now definitive.
