WorldDutch court sentences man to life over Rwanda genocide

A court in The Hague has sentenced a 66-year-old Dutch-Rwandan man, identified only as Eugene N, to life in prison for war crimes and genocide committed during Rwanda’s 1994 genocide. Judges said he acted with “genocidal intent” and helped direct a massacre of Tutsis sheltering in a stadium. He denied the charges, and his lawyers said an appeal was almost certain; he was acquitted of incitement to genocide.
