Rwandan officials stated that jail American lawyer Peter Erlinder. He was arrested on spreading genocide ideology. He went Rwanda in May to support a opposition candidate. HE is quoted saying the Tutsi rebels are the cause of the genocide, not the Hutu death squads that were supported by the government. The Rwanda government has strict laws regarding the countries genocide in 1994 when hundred of thousand Tutsi rebels were mascaraed. Every one who knows Erlinder believe the governments statement that they found him overdosed on his medicine before he was going to be interrogated. They say he knew the severity of his sentence that can be punished by 25 years but now may face more because attempting suicide is a crime in Rwanda.
