    The United Kingdom parliament said the documentary entitled, This World – Rwanda’s untold story aired on BBC2 is a denial of genocide and should be investigated.

    The house said in a statement released on November 6, 2014 that it was disappointed by the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) for denying the 1994 genocide against Tutsi in Rwanda

     “this House is dismayed at the BBC’s production of the genocide denial programme entitled, This World – Rwanda’s untold story; recognises the central place the programme now occupies in the activities of genocide denialists” Part of the UK Parliament read

    The house urged the BBC to conduct an immediate inquiry into the editorial and managerial decisions which led to the airing of the programme on BBC2 on 1st October 2014.

    The Britishlawmakers further urged the Director General of the BBC, a member of the House of Lords, to act personally and transparently, deal with the matter of profound political significance and social injustice.

    This comes in the midst of a potential row between the British media agency and Rwandan authorities of which the latter has temporarily taken measure of blocking all BBC local programmes aired in the country now.

    Rwandans have also petitioned the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) to apologize to the Rwandan people, Tutsi genocide survivors, Rwandan government, and Rwandan President Paul Kagame for the lies, generalisation, false accusations, innuendoes and wild allegations made against them in the BBC documentary titled; “Rwanda: the untold story.”

    The  Rwanda Utility and Regulatory Authority, (RURA) has named Five Experts who will analyze allegations against BBC accused of disseminating divisionism among Rwandans, after many Rwandans staged protests and peaceful matches against the BBC.
