Summary:In Rwanda, those who took part in one of the worst genocides of the 20th century in 1994 may soon be free. The 100,000 people in prison, accused of mass murder, may be tried by a local justice system called the Gacaca. Under this law murders can be freed after 8 years in prison if they admit their guilt.
