{{Former Senator Nzirasanaho Anastase has told IGIHE that he is scheduled to appeal against a life sentence after court found him guilty of issuing a gun that was used by an Interahamwe during the 1994 genocide against ethnic Tutsi’s that claimed a million lives.}}
It’s stated that Nzarasanaho delivered a gun at Mataba (Gakenke district) that was used in the brutal murder of Tutsi’s in the area.
However, in a lengthy interview with IGIHE, Mr. Nzarasanaho said the accusations are a pack of lies hinting that the issue concerning the gun should be addressed to Neretse Fabien that was commanding Interahamwe at Mataba during the genocide.
The former senator says, several witnesses attested that the gun was supplied by Neretse at that time he brought the gun escorted by a soldier.
The politician also says survivors of the Mataba massacre provided evidence that they had witnessed Neretse using the gun to kill Tutsi’s in the area.
“I will immediately appeal against the life sentence after court allegedly found me guilty of supplying the gun and killing eight people,” Nzarasanaho said.
