I've read in some media reports Pauline Nyiramasuhuko has been found guilty, to be sentenced in September, 2010. By the way, there should be much more about this woman at Wikipedia. It's just hard to find the info. Alpheus ( talk) 07:36, 27 June 2010 (UTC)
"Armed Hutu were deployed throughout the countryside to cull fleeing Tutsi."
I'm sorry, I believe the use of this word is improper; one culls animals (generally for the betterment of the group as a whole), not human beings. To use this word in relation to human beings is to degrade them to the level of cattle. I am quite sure this was not the intent of the author, naturally, but still, this improper verb should be replaced.
Others may disagree, claiming that "culling" can apply equally well to human beings; while I may not respect this, I certainly do not feel interested in getting drawn into such a discussion. However, technically, the term would still be incorrect: fleeing Tutsi were not "culled" in any sense of the world, as culling entails a selection process, something lacking in this case. Basically, all fleeing Tutsi who could be reached were killed: there was no process by which this or that Tutsi would be spared, and hence, no "culling". -- Erjyx ( talk) 20:45, 25 June 2011 (UTC)
Pauline Nyiramasuhuko and her son currently serves life in prison with the possible chance of parole according to the news, but if they find out a parole is issued, they may release in 25 years. The other four members are currently serving 25-year prison terms and they may be released in June 24th, 2036. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Katarighe ( talk • contribs) 00:13, 27 June 2011 (UTC)
Because this is on the front page, it is, of course, quite a big priority. Are there any available? Lord British ( talk) 07:35, 27 June 2011 (UTC)
"She ordered the then-governor to organize the killings. When he refused, he was killed, and Nyiramasuhuko called in militias from Kigali." I think the governor deserves a mention by name, if anyone can provide it. Pocharngo ( talk) 10:55, 28 June 2011 (UTC)
Being the minister of -advancement for women- it seems like she may have at some point encountered the term feminist and made comments about it, I think it would be interesting to note these if they could be located. 64.228.88.197 ( talk) 10:14, 30 March 2015 (UTC)
