Beatrice Munyenyezi
Beatrice Munyenyezi (born 1970) is a Rwandan woman known for her involvement in the Rwandan Genocide. She sought political asylum in the United States where she successfully applied citing persecution in her home country. Almost two decades later, in 2013, a US court prosecuted Beatrice for lying about her political affiliation during the Rwandan Genocide. She was stripped of her American citizenship and was given a ten-year sentence.
