Abstract
In this press release, Human Rights Watch denounces a broadcast by Radio-Télévision Libre des Mille Collines which designated the date of May 5, the day of the funeral of the late President Juvénal Habyarimana, as the deadline for completing the "cleaning /em>" of the Tutsi minority and members of the opposition. The statement also denounces efforts by Rwandan authorities to present the killings as a "spontaneous explosion of rage" following the death of Juvénal Habyarimana.
