21 Eylül 2026BBC News

Dr. Vincent Brown, 65, faces seven charges in the UK connected to the 1994 Rwanda genocide, marking a significant legal development.
Vincent Brown, previously known as Dr. Vincent Bajinya, has been charged with seven offences related to the 1994 Rwanda genocide.
His court appearance is scheduled for Tuesday at Westminster Magistrates’ Court. This marks a significant development in the pursuit of justice for the atrocities committed during the genocide.
The 1994 Rwanda genocide resulted in the deaths of an estimated 800,000 people, primarily Tutsis, over a span of 100 days. Despite the passage of nearly three decades, efforts to bring perpetrators to justice continue, with various countries taking action against individuals residing within their borders.
The charges against Dr. Brown represent a crucial step in addressing the long-standing issues of accountability for the Rwanda genocide.
