“Thirty-two years after the genocide in Rwanda”
DISPUTED
Wikipedia explicitly states the Rwandan genocide occurred from 7 April to 19 July 1994. As of 2024/2025, this is 30-31 years ago, not 32. While one web search result (France 24) repeats the 'Thirty-two years' phrasing, the authoritative date provided by Wikipedia directly contradicts the mathematical claim that 32 years have passed since 1994.

“Those walking out of prison today are often those who have served their full 30-year sentences.”
CORROBORATED
Multiple sources discuss the 30-year mark of the genocide and the reintegration of perpetrators. France 24 specifically mentions the task of reintegrating the 'last remaining perpetrators' into their communities, and another web result mentions survivors living side-by-side with perpetrators 30 years later, supporting the claim that perpetrators are completing sentences and returning to society.
