The Rwandan government has ordered an indefinite suspension of all BBC broadcasts in the country after the airing of a controversial documentary on the 1994 genocide, which has led to accusations of genocide denial.
The Rwandan public regulatory body, which had recently launched an investigation into the documentary, said the decision was made based "on the resolutions made by the commission of inquiry that was set up by the Rwandan government to investigate allegations of genocide denial and revisionism against the BBC in the new documentary produced by BBC journalist, Jane Corbin".
The documentary, “Rwanda's Untold Story”, contained allegations that current President Paul Kagame and his then Rwandan Patriotic Front armed organisation shot down and killed then Hutu president Juvenal Habyarimana, sparking the genocide which killed some 800,000 people.
