A court in France has sentenced former Rwandan intelligence chief to 25 years in prison for his role in the genocide, in a landmark trial on Friday.
In France’s first trial over the genocide, 54-year-old Pascal Simbikangwa was found guilty of genocide and complicity to crimes against humanity.
The prosecution described him as a "genocide denier" adding he believed in "extremist Hutu ideology", in the 6 week trial.
