15 years later , The only problem I have with this is the fact that he only faces life in prison ! That is way to nice of a sentence for a person who has committed Crimes like this guy has !
....
OTTAWA (Reuters) - A Canadian court found a Rwandan man guilty on Friday of genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes for his role in the 1994 Rwanda genocide, making him the first person convicted under Canada's war crimes act.
Desire Munyaneza, 42, was convicted by a Superior Court judge in the province of Quebec on seven charges that stemmed from the part he played in killings and rapes in the Rwandan region of Butare.
In 1994, extremists from Rwanda's Hutu majority hacked and shot to death 800,000 minority Tutsis and politically moderate Hutus.
"The evidence showed beyond a reasonable doubt that the accused participated in the hunting down of Tutsi ... Desire Munyaneza was at the forefront of the genocidal movement," Judge Andre Denis wrote in his judgment.
Munyaneza faces life imprisonment. His lawyer has already made clear he will appeal.
