KIGALI, March 17 (AFP) - More than 300 people died in clashes between Hutu and Tutsi tribesmen in southeastern Rwanda a week ago, the president of the Rwanda Human Rights Association (ARDHO) Alphonse Mubito said Tuesday.

Mubito, citing the results of a five-day ARDHO facting-finding mission in the south, said the fighting had left "at least 300 dead". He said the toll was still only "provisional" and did not include people whose bodies were "burned or thrown into sewage ditches".

The official toll unchanged for more than a week is 60 dead.

Mubito said 15,000 people had fled their homes as a result of the clashes which affected the Bugesera and Kanzense regions.
