Rwanda’s envoy there is Bakuramutsa Nkubito Manzi, based in South Korea. Unclear immediately how many Rwandans will be affected.

"He didn't break the law out of greed. He broke it out of love. Standing in court, head in his hands, shivering in an orange jumpsuit, he looked like just another criminal facing fraud charges. But the file on the judge's desk told a different story. He'd written a bad check for thousands of dollars. Not for a new car or a vacation, but at a pharmacy counter. When the insurance company denied his mother's life-saving medication, panic took over. He knew the check would bounce, but he also knew it was the only way to get the medicine she needed to survive the week. Now, he faced prison time for that desperation. And as he stood there weeping, his only thought wasn't about jail, but about who would take care of her if he was gone. He braced himself for sentencing. But the judge didn't bring down his gavel. In a moment that stunned the entire room, she stood, leaned across the bench, and wrapped her arms around him. She didn't see a con artist; she saw a loving son pushed to the brink. Holding his face in her hands, she looked him in the eye and delivered the life-changing verdict: 'It's over. I'm dropping the charges. You deserve a second chance, and I believe you can take advantage of it.' She didn't just give him back his freedom; she gave him the challenge of going home, taking care of his family, and making this mercy matter. Sometimes, justice isn't just about punishment. It's about understanding. Do you think the judge made the right decision by looking at the 'why' instead of just the 'what'?"
