A former Rwandan gynecologist, Sosthene Munyemana, is on Trial in France for charges of genocide and crimes against humanity related to the 1994 massacres in Rwanda. The trial, one of France's longest-running cases, comes nearly 30 years after a complaint was filed against Munyemana. He is accused of organizing torture and killings during the genocide of Tutsis in Rwanda. Munyemana, who denies the charges, faces life in prison if convicted. The trial is scheduled to last five weeks and will be recorded for historical archives. France has been accused by Rwanda of not extraditing genocide suspects or bringing them to justice.
