An Ohio man has been charged with lying about his involvement in the Rwandan genocide, according to authorities in Massachusetts. The man allegedly provided false information about his role in the genocide when applying for U.S. citizenship.
The suspect, who is a Rwandan national, is accused of concealing his participation in the genocide that occurred in Rwanda in 1994. The genocide, which claimed the lives of an estimated 800,000 people, was a dark chapter in the country's history.
