Rwanda to free 30,000 prisoners
By Robert Walker
BBC Kigali

Rwanda has announced the provisional release of up to 30,000
prisoners suspected of involvement in genocide and other crimes.

However, they may still face justice at local village courts, said
government officials.

Most have confessed to their crimes and none is considered to be in
the top category of genocide suspects.

No date has been given for this mass release of mostly ethnic Hutu
prisoners - the third since 2003.
