New York-based Human Rights Watch recently warned there could be more killings of genocide survivors by perpetrators of the massacre trying to eliminate evidence against them.
Prisoner Eustache Hakizimana, who confessed to killing two people from his village during the genocide, cried tears of joy as he was released from Kigali's central prison on Monday.
"I never dreamt of ever moving out of that wall," Hakizimana said, pointing to the prison. "I have spent 13 years without seeing the outside world."
Under Rwanda's traditional gacaca courts, criminals who confess their involvement in genocide are set free to serve half of their sentences outside of prison doing community work.
