Rwanda: France's Highest Tribute to Dafroza Lies in Ensuring Genocidaires Stand Trial

[New Times] On October 7, 2026, France's National Anti-Terrorism Prosecutor's Office (PNAT) honored Dafroza Mukarumongi Gauthier, a tireless advocate for justice who co-founded the Collectif des Parties Civiles pour le Rwanda (CPCR) to prosecute suspects of the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi. The CPCR's unwavering commitment to justice paved the way for 12 trials in France targeting those responsible for the genocide, resulting in eight convictions.
