KIGALI, June 24 (Xinhua) -- Remains of 359 victims of the 1994 genocide in Rwanda that had been retrieved recently from mass graves were on Sunday accorded a decent burial.

The remains were retrieved from four different mass graves in Gasabo district of Rwandan capital Kigali after a genocide survivor offered information.

The burial took place at Ndera memorial site in Gasabo district, attended by hundreds of local residents, officials and families of the victims.

Speaking at the ceremony, Kigali city mayor Marie Chantal Rwakazina decried the reluctance of genocide perpetrators to volunteer information on where they dumped bodies of their victims, saying this compromises national unity.

Giving decent burial to remains of genocide victims facilitates the healing process, said Jean Pierre Dusingizemungu, president of Ibuka, the umbrella body of genocide survivors associations of Rwanda.

The Rwandan genocide in 1994 claimed over 1 million ethnic Tutsis and moderate Hutus.
