Rwanda: UN Tribunal Convicts Journalists of Fanning Flames of Massacre

For the first time since World War II, an international tribunal has found journalists guilty of crimes against humanity through the use of broadcast and print media. The UN's International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda sentenced two men to life in prison and a third to 35 years for their roles in the 1994 Rwandan genocide in which extremist Hutus massacred between 500,000 and 800,000 minority Tutsis and politically moderate Hutus.
