Dutch court gives life term to man over Rwanda genocide
A court in The Hague convicted a 66-year-old Rwandan man of genocide and war crimes over his role in a 1994 massacre.
A court in The Hague has sentenced a 66-year-old Rwandan man to life in prison after finding him guilty of genocide and war crimes linked to the 1994 killings in Rwanda. The ruling was reported on Friday by BBC News and Al Jazeera.
According to Al Jazeera, the man, identified as Eugene N., was convicted over his part in an attack at a stadium where about 3,000 Tutsis were killed. The court said he was responsible for crimes committed during the genocide.
The case is one of several brought in Europe against people accused of involvement in the Rwanda genocide, which left hundreds of thousands dead in 1994. Dutch courts have jurisdiction in some cases involving alleged international crimes when suspects are found in the Netherlands.
