Abstract
Human Rights Watch/Africa issues statement condemning April 12, 1994 call for violence and RTLM's daily broadcasts. The NGO calls for the protection of "terrorized civilians" who have sought refuge and underlines the planned nature of the murders, which constitute crimes against humanity. She further warns that the violence of the last ten days in Rwanda cannot simply be described as anarchy or tribal conflict. The statement finally confirms that Monique Mujawamariya is alive and fled Rwanda, just like Alphonse-Marie Nkubito, while deploring the murders and disappearances of several other human rights defenders.
