Jean-Bosco Barayagwiza (1950, Mutura – 25 April 2010) was a Rwandan diplomat and the chairman of the executive committee for the Rwandan radio station Radio Télévision Libre des Mille Collines from 1993 and during the 1994 Rwandan Genocide.

He was charged by the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda on October 23, 2000 along with co-leader Ferdinand Nahimana and Hassan Ngeze, director and editor of the Kangura newspaper.

Barayagwiza refused to participate in the trial, claiming that the judges were not impartial.[3]

After his conviction on December 3, 2003 to 35 years imprisonment (he was sentenced to 27 years, given his time already spent in captivity), he announced that he was appealing the sentence. He was assigned Donald Herbert and Tanoo Mylvaganam as a new defence counsel on November 30, 2004. Mr. Alfred Pognon was called as “adjunct” defense counsel to Mr. Barletta Caldarera. His last appeal was rejected by the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda on June 22, 2009.[4]

He died on 25 April 2010 at 6h22 in Cotonou (Republic of Benin)[5] due to an advanced case of Hepatitis C. It has been reported by his family that he was denied adequate treatment.
