Defence lawyers for the first woman to be charged with genocide at the international tribunal for Rwanda have begun presenting their case.
Pauline Nyiramasuhuko and her son are accused of helping to organize the murder of Tutsis and inciting soldiers to rape hundreds of women during the 1994 genocide. (Ironically, she was a minister for women’s affairs at the time.)
According to one witness: “Apart from indoctrinating the people, Pauline took care of the logistics for the militiamen who came in from Kigali to set Butare on fire… She distributed grenades and supplied the petrol for the burning down of houses in the rural areas and distributed machetes and other useful equipment to the assassins…”
…Once again demonstrating to us all that women are only violent in self-defense.
