Over 300 bodies are recovered from Lake Victoria in Mpigi District in Uganda. RPF forces continue to rescue survivors of the massacres in Bugesera. About 300 people, most of them with machete cuts, receive medical treatment in Ntarama Hospital that is also accommodating 86 orphans. Refugees continue to return from Tanzania. In the last three days, 450 of them reported at the Rusumo border post. An RPF delegation headed by Patrick Mazimpaka visits the Centre for Strategic Studies in Washington, DC to report on the current situation in Rwanda. Mazimpaka says that allegations of RPF troops committing atrocities against civilians are false and that the source of the allegations are refugees in Tanzania – people who committed acts of genocide and are trying to cover their own crimes by shifting blame onto the RPF. He explains that RPF forces are governed by a strict code of conduct that bars them from taking the law into their own hands.
