Priest’s war crimes sentence extended
The International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda’s ruling came after Rwandan Roman Catholic priest Athanase Serombawar appealed his 2006 conviction, a tribunal website said. He was originally sentenced to 15 years in prison.
The tribunal is trying the alleged masterminds of the 100-day Rwandan genocide in which more than 500,000 minority Tutsis and moderate Hutus were killed by Hutu extremists.
