A French court judged the perpetrator of one of the deadliest single instances of the Rwandan genocide guilty of involvement and sentenced him to 20 years in jail.
The highest-ranking Rwandan to go on trial in France for the 1994 killings, which killed an estimated 800,000 Tutsis and moderate Hutus, was Laurent Bucyibaruta.
Bucyibaruta persuaded tens of thousands of Tutsis to seek safety in the Murambi Technical School while serving as the governor of the southern Gikongoro region.
They were killed many days later.
His conviction was aided by testimony from survivors.
