Contents Summary

Several eye-witnesses are discussing the killings that took place in the Seventh-day Adventist Church in Mugonero, Kibuye region in Rwanda. According to journalists and human rights investigators, Pastor Elizaphan Ntakirutimana, a Hutu and then president of the Seventh-day Adventist Church urged Tutsi members of his congregation, as well as others, to take shelter in the compound. In a single day almost all of the 3,000 Tutsis who had gathered at the mission were slain. Witnesses claim that Ntakirutimana, and his son Gérard Ntakirutimana, were collaborating with the militias and they accuse them of being involved in the killings. Pastor Elizaphan Ntakirutimana was the first clergyman to be convicted for a role in the 1994 Rwandan Genocide.
