Froduald Karamira

Froduald Karamira (14 August 1947 – 24 April 1998) was a Rwandan politician who was found guilty of crimes in organising the implementation of the 1994 Rwandan genocide. He was sentenced to death by a Rwandan court and was one of the last 24 individuals executed by Rwanda.

On 14 February 1997, Karamira was convicted on all counts and sentenced to death by firing squad. He appealed to the Kigali Appeals Court, but the appeal was rejected and his sentence confirmed on 12 September 1997. On 24 April 1998, in a public event at the Nyamirambo Stadium in Kigali, Karamira was executed by firing squad along with 21 other people convicted of involvement in the Rwandan genocide.[3][4] The same day, at least two other individuals were also executed at other locations in Rwanda.

Rwanda abolished the death penalty in 2007. The 24 people executed in 1998, including Karamira, were the last to have been executed in Rwanda
