Ruth-Rolland, J.M. (1937–1995)
Central African official. Name variations: Jeanne-Marie Ruth-Rolland. Born in 1937; died in Paris, France, on June 4, 1995.
Trained as a teacher, Jeanne-Marie Ruth-Rolland became the director of social services in the army of the Central African Republic. She was also an adviser to the prime minister on women's issues and a campaigner on behalf of the homeless children of the republic's capital, Bangui. But her candor was anathema to the republic's military ruler, General Andre Kolingba, and she was imprisoned for five years (1986–91). Upon her release, she joined the Cabinet as its minister of social affairs in 1992–93. She died in a hospital in Paris of unreported causes at age 58.
