DAR ES SALAAM (Tanzania) - A FORMER administrator accused of transporting soldiers to kill thousands of people during Rwanda's 1994 genocide received a 25-year sentence on Tuesday, a UN court said.
The International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR) in Arusha, Tanzania, found Dominique Ntawukulilyayo, 68, guilty of genocide.
'The Trial Chamber ... convicted Dominique Ntawukulilyayo, sub-prefect of Gisagara sub-prefecture in Butare, of genocide and sentenced him to 25 years of imprisonment,' the tribunal said on its website.
Ntawukulilyayo, who was the deputy administrator of Rwanda's southern Gisagara district, was acquitted of other charges of complicity in genocide and direct and public incitement to commit genocide.
He was arrested in France in October 2007 and transferred to the UN detention facility in the northern Tanzanian town of Arusha a year later.
In their indictment, prosecutors said Ntawukulilyayo transported soldiers to a hill where thousands of refugee Tutsis had gathered after he promised to feed and protect them. -- REUTERS
This article appeal to me because I can't believe that his sentence is so light. Genocide of 68 people and jailed for 25 years? Then what about the family of the 68 people that got killed? What do they get in return? Only sadness and anger while Rwandan sits in the jail enjoying food and not even worrying about any avenger. I am sure that anyone who reads this news will feel as angry as me right now. If I am the judge, I will sentence him to a life long jail and given 1 stroke of whip per month. I'll make sure he suffers and I will also make sure he won't die before he died of old age.
