  Gacaca trials to end in June

  

  The Gacaca courts (semi-traditional courts) are scheduled to end in June this year. Inspired by Rwandan tradition, the gacaca courts are charged with trying people in Rwanda suspected to have taken part in the 1994 killing spree against Tutsis. In 2008 an amendment of the law broadened the jurisdiction of the gacaca to rape cases.
