Primary Sources: 1. [|Interview with survivor of Rwanda Genocide] In this interview, Imaculee, a Rwandan genocide survivor, reveals what it was like being a Tutsi during this Genocide. She recounts having the Hutus storm the house she was in. She tells how the Hutus captured her, her family, and her friends. The Hutus held them captive for three months, until a few of the Tutsis were able to escape to a French compound. Unfortunately, Imaculee learns that the Hutus have killed her two brothers, her father, and her parents. This interview gives readers a sense of what the genocide was really like, from someone who struggled through it.

[|Rwanda Genocide Website] This website does a great job of illustrating many of the human rights violations in Rwanda by showing a lot of information about the Rwanda Genocide overall, a human rights violation in itself.

[|Genocide in Rwanda- United Human Rights Council] This website shows a lot about the Rwanda Genocide from a more historical point of view. It tells about the causes of this Genocide, and also how other countries could have helped to conserve the rights of humans affected by it.

[|Rwanda Human Rights Concerns] This website also shows some of the history of the Rwanda Genocide while providing specific examples of human rights violations in Rwanda. Such as the case of Francois-Xavier Byumba, a long-standing human rights defender and activist for an NGO who was sentenced to 19 years' imprisonment on May 27, 2007, after an unfair trial by the //gacaca// community court in the Bilyogo sector of Kigali.
