{{Police has revealed that 42 suspects were arrested during the Marking of 19 Commemoration of Genocide against ethnic Tutsi.}}
Senior Superintendent of Police Marcel Higiro noted that the suspects were arrested in connection with harbouring the genocide ideology during the commemoration week.
He said that the arrested suspects uttered inflammatory speeches that negated the genocide.
“33 have been handed over to the prosecution while investigations are still ongoing for the rest so that we can gather factual evidence behind their suspected inflammatory speech, as for those suspects handed over to the prosecution, we do have evidence.” He noted.
Higiro however said there were no cases of physical harm inflicted on anyone and that all cases were related to expressions made that were characterized by the genocide ideology.
Dr Bideri Diogene, a legal advisor at the national anti genocide commission who was also an invited guest at the talk show Also said that aside from legal penalties for the suspects, an extensive investigation should be done to examine the reason behind people who harbor the genocide ideology.
