1994 GENOCIDE: EX RWANDAN DOCTOR JAILED 24-YEARS.(PHOTO).


Former Rwandan doctor Sosthene Munyemana has been jailed for 24 years by a French court for his involvement in the 1994 genocide of Tutsis.


The 68-year-old former gynaecologist was on Wednesday found guilty of genocide, crimes against humanity and participation in a conspiracy to prepare these crimes.


His lawyers said they planned to appeal the verdict.


The public prosecutor had sought a sentence of 30 years, arguing that the “sum total” of his choices showed “the traits of a genocidaire”.


Munyemana was accused of helping draft a letter of support for the then interim government, which encouraged the massacre of the Tutsi minority.


He was also accused of helping set up roadblocks to round people up and keeping them in inhumane conditions in local government offices before they were killed in the southern Rwandan prefecture of Butare, where he lived at the time.
