The UN’s International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR) has jailed one of the key organisers of the Rwandan genocide to 35 years behind bars.
The last trial by the ICTR saw Augustin Ngirabatware convicted of genocide, incitement to commit genocide and rape as a crime against humanity.
"For these crimes the court sentences you to 35 years in prison," Judge William Hussein Sekule told the former government minister.
Ngirabatware was put on trial at the court in Tanzania, after his arrest in Germany in 2007.
Over 800,000 ethnic Tutsis and moderate Hutus were killed during a hundred days of violence in 1994.
