Genocide scholars have likened the forthcoming Silver Jubilee celebration that the Catholic Church of Kabgayi Diocese is set to hold for its two priests convicted of genocide crimes during the genocide against the Tutsi in 1994, to genocide ideology and minimisation of genocide.
On July 16, the Kabgayi Diocese will hold a series of religious event at Mushishiro Parish including the 25-year jubilee celebration for its six priests, who include two genocide convicts Joseph Ndagijimana and Emmanuel Rukundo, according to the invitation by the Diocese.
Rukundo was convicted and handed a 25-year sentence by the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda in 2009, while Joseph Ndagijimana was convicted and handed life sentence by Gacaca in the same year.
