Rwanda: Genocide court upholds ex-minister's sentence

An appeals court at the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR) on Friday upheld a life sentence for Rwanda's former information minister for his role in the 1994 genocide. Eliezer Niyitegeka was jailed for life in May 2003 after the U.N. tribunal found him guilty of crimes including genocide, complicity in genocide, direct and public incitement to commit genocide, and crimes against humanity.
