{Members of Parliament in the UK have tabled a [motion->http:\/\/www.parliament.uk\/edm\/2014-15\/489] to condemn the BBC’s production of the genocide denial programme entitled, This World – Rwanda’s untold story.}<\/p>\n

An Early motion on the Website of the UK Parliament is read: \u201cThat this House is dismayed at the BBC’s production of the genocide denial programme entitled, This World – Rwanda’s untold story; recognises the central place the programme now occupies in the activities of genocide denialists\u201d<\/p>\n

The house urges the BBC to conduct an immediate inquiry into the editorial and managerial decisions which led to the airing of the programme on BBC2 on 1 October 2014.<\/p>\n

It further urges the Director General of the BBC, a member of the House of Lords, to act personally and transparently to deal with this matter of profound political significance and social injustice; and commends the campaigning efforts of Professor Linda Melvern et al to this end. <\/p>\n

The documentary in question has led to frustrations among Rwandans in country and broad calling for the legal action against the BBC.<\/p>\n

They said the documentary is promoting hatred, revisionism and genocide denial.<\/p>\n

As result, Rwanda has suspended BBC broadcasts in the Kinyarwanda language with immediate effect because of a film questioning official accounts of the 1994 genocide.<\/p>\n
