KIGALI, Rwanda — A Rwandan court has sentenced eight people to death and 14 to prison terms for their role in the 1994 massacre that left more than 800,000 minority Tutsis and politically moderate Hutus dead, state radio said Saturday.
Rwandan radio said the sentences were handed down Friday by a court in Gisuma in the southwestern province of Cynangugu.
Twenty-eight people had been accused of genocide and crimes against humanity covering a period between April and July 1994. Six of those charged were acquitted.
