Six Weeks in Rwanda

"'Those who carried out the genocide should be executed in order to forever eradicate the culture of impunity that has always marred Rwanda. The only solution: sentencing them to a grave punishment, which their past actions merit,' said Francois Ngarambe, president of a genocide survivors group, Ibuka (Remember in Kinyarwanda, the national language)."

Rwanda just abolished its death penalty. This is a big step, one that will allow the country to receive many more genocide suspects from abroad. However, this is quite a sacrifice, and many of the citizens disagree with the change. Anyone who orchestrated such a terrible genocide deserves death, not life in prison.
