After pressure from international organizations including Reporters Without Borders and Journaliste en danger, she was acquitted and released in November 2007.
[citation needed] She became a host and producer of programs on Radio Rwanda, where she worked with the prize-winning journalist André Sibomana.
[4] After the massacres of April 1994 that marked the beginning of the Rwandan genocide, Radio Rwanda broadcast official government communiques and lists of deceased persons sent by the country's prefectures.
[2][3] She suggested she was targeted to silence Sibomana, who was disseminating reports critical of the Tutsi reprisals and who died less than two years after her arrest.
Beyond the killing of Bwanamudogo, the accusations against her focused on the communiques and lists of names Mukakibibi broadcast in the early days of the genocide, as well as a statement announcing the evacuation of Kigali on July 4, 1994.
