The Paris court found writer Charles Onana guilty of denying the Rwandan genocide, stating that his book violated laws prohibiting such denial of officially recognized genocides.
The court cited 19 passages from Onana's book, which it claimed contradicted the established facts of the Rwandan genocide and the responsibilities of the French state.
In his controversial book, Onana dismissed the genocide narrative as a 'scam of the 20th century', challenging widely accepted truths about the events in Rwanda.
Onana's statements in the book, including consistently placing the term 'genocide' in quotes, reflected his refusal to acknowledge the historical reality recognized by international law.
