Rwanda has released 533 individuals convicted of genocide-related crimes as their sentences expired, per trtafrika.com.

The move comes amid ongoing regional diplomatic tensions, with the Democratic Republic of Congo urging Rwanda to withdraw troops from the region, Bloomberg reports.

Meanwhile, Kigali is hosting a para-athletics training camp for 30 athletes, according to karlobag.eu, highlighting the city's sports development focus.

The release marks a significant moment in Rwanda's post-conflict justice system as it balances reconciliation with accountability.
