Massacre of three thousand people: Rwandan citizen sentenced to life imprisonment in the Netherlands for genocide

SOL28 August 2026 at 12:33

A Rwandan citizen named Eugene N. was sentenced to life imprisonment in the Netherlands for genocide. The court in The Hague considered it proven that he participated in the massacre of approximately three thousand people.

The court also decided that Eugene N. was responsible for the looting and destruction of homes during the wave of violence in Rwanda in 1994. The crimes occurred in the context of the genocide that devastated the country during that period.

This conviction represents one of the genocide cases tried outside Rwanda, demonstrating the international effort to hold accountable those responsible for the crimes committed during the genocide, which resulted in the death of hundreds of thousands of people.

40th POPULAR MEDICINE CONGRESS REVIVES FATHER FONTES' LEGACY IN VILAR DE PERDIZES

Vilar de Perdizes, in Portugal, hosted the 40th edition of the Popular Medicine Congress, an initiative that over four decades has preserved and valued the traditional knowledge of the Barroso region. The congress, founded by Father Fontes, continues to be a space for meeting between the empirical knowledge of communities and scientific research, promoting reflection on ancestral medicinal practices, rituals, and the use of natural resources for treating diseases. The president of the Municipality of Montalegre, Fátima Fernandes, highlighted the importance of the event as "an affirmation of an ancestral culture" and paid tribute to the founder, describing him as "a force of nature" who contributed to taking these knowledges out of oblivion and projecting them beyond the village borders.
