The organizers have officially rescinded the invitation for Paul Kagame to attend the gala. This outcome reflects the gravity of the concerns brought forward by everyone who engaged with this effort. Remaining vigilant about these matters of justice continues to be our responsibility.

We, the undersigned, wish to state our objections to the invitation to Paul Kagame to the “Champions of Jewish Values” International Awards Gala on May 21st, 2017.
No matter how one may view the Genocide of 1994, the intervening years have seen not only the killing of hundreds of thousands of Rwandan refugees in the Democratic Republic of Congo by Rwandan forces (as revealed in the UN Mapping Report) but also an increasing number of political imprisonments and killings by President Kagame’s government. (Please see the US state department reports since 1996)
There have been arrests and killings of political opponents, killings of his former bodyguards and high ranking business people since 1994. President Kagame’s support for militias in D.R. of Congo, as revealed by the United Nations, has lead to an on going conflict of rape, murder and economic exploitation that has killed millions and destroyed the lives of far more.
As human beings, we cannot both applaud peace and support someone who has promoted bloodshed and cruelty as a methodology to rule. Jewish values are human values. We all want peace, we all want the TRUTH.
It is events like the one you are holding that hides the acts above behind a curtain of President Kagame being a savior. We hope you will see that you are being used to his end and wish you would seriously question your decision to invite Paul Kagame to this event and, worse, to possibly award him some sort of “prize”.

Paul Kagame a provoqué le génocide des Tutsi et s'est opposé à toute assistance étrangère pour l'arrêter. Il a par ailleurs commis le genocide des populations Hutu au Rwanda et au Zaïre/RDC. Le soutenir c'est cracher sur ses victimes.
Kagame is kills his on citizens so shame on your organization ! Honoring someone who abuse human rights is denigrating the Jewish victims of The Nazi genocide
To allow a genocider as Kagame in a such event would be a shame to the entire wold. This man is similar to Hitler. In honor to Jewish victims please do not allow him to access that memorable event. Thank you.
Brutal killer and dictator Recent killed Rwandans: Rwigara, Karegeya, Mucyo, Gasakure, etc... Attempted to kill Kayumba. In prison: Rusagara, Byabagamba, Rugigana, Mushayidi, Ingabire, etc...
A man like Paul Kagame cannot sit among leaders with democratic values because he is a champion in persecuting opponents, he le leads a country with no free media, no opposition and Independant civil society organisations. ...see usa state department on Rwanda and UN Mapping Report on DR CONGO
I believe the Prince of Peace Yashua hamashiach is coming soon and that we should all strive for peace on the Earth
Kagame Paul is killer.

Providing President Paul Kagame a platform, by attending, is endorsing violence happening to #Rwandans. Kagame's regime is terrorising #Rwandans.
