Biography

Rutaganda was a major commander responsible for the Rwandan Genocide of 1994. Prosecutor James Stewart stated, "Without Georges Rutaganda, the Rwandan genocide would not have functioned the way it did." He was on radio RTLM (Radio Télévision Libre des Mille Collines) in Kigali in 1994, encouraging Interahamwe Militia to exterminate all Tutsis. It was alleged that Rutaganda captured, raped, and tortured Tutsi women in the Interahamwe Hideouts in Kigali. Other accounts state that Rutaganda captured Tutsi prostitutes believing them to be witches.

During this time, Rutaganda was reported to supply his militia with stolen supplies from the Rwandan military. Rutaganda was arrested on Oct. 10, 1995, and transferred to Arusha, Tanzania, on May 26, 1996. He was sentenced to life imprisonment for genocide, crimes against humanity and murder.

He died in prison in Benin on October 11, 2010.

Rutaganda appears in the film Hotel Rwanda. Although he is portrayed as main villian, Rutaganda is actually the one, not the UN official Oliver, that prevented fighting when the UN convoy were transporting the refugees. In the film he is played by Hakeem Kae-Kazim.
