CONCORD, N.H. A woman who served a 10-year sentence in U.S. prison for lying about her role in the 1994 Rwandan genocide to obtain American citizenship and lost her bid for a new trial has been deported to Rwanda, her lawyer said Saturday.
Beatrice Munyenyezi was convicted and sentenced in 2013 in the U.S. state of New Hampshire. She served a 10-year sentence in the state of Alabama and had faced deportation.
She lost her latest court battle in March, when the 1st U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld a federal district judge’s rejection of her petition challenging how the jury was instructed during her trial in federal court in New Hampshire.

CONCORD, N.H. - The New Hampshire Supreme Court was split 2-2 Friday over a woman s nearly nine-year battle to challenge her firing from the state Department of Health and Human Services over breastfeeding, meaning a lower court s decision to dismiss her case stands.
When the court heard the case in January 2020, it lacked a fifth member after its chief justice stepped down the previous summer. Former Attorney General Gordon MacDonald was sworn in as chief justice last week, well over a year after the case was argued.
âI wasn t expecting a tie, said Kate Frederick, who has since worked on legislation in New Hampshire strengthening breastfeeding rights. She added, âIt s telling women and families, âNew Hampshire, we don t even acknowledge you, we don t even care about your issues, we re not going to decide this.
