The BBC reports that the most recent arrivals to a refugee camp in northern Tanzania are accusing the RPF forces of committing atrocities against women and children in the Kibungo communes. The RPF representative in Brussels, James Rwego, denies the charges in a BBC interview. Rwego says the RPF is only interested in apprehending the militias who are responsible for the massacres in Rwanda. About 318 refugees in the RPF controlled town of Byumba sign a document that strongly condemns the Interim Government for its leading role in promoting the international crime of genocide against the Rwandan people. Pope John Paul II makes a public statement labeling the violence in Rwanda as “an out-and-out genocide, for which unfortunately even Catholics are responsible.
