Rwanda ex-driver jailed for role in genocide

A court in Paris has found a French-Rwandan man, Claude Muhayimana, guilty of complicity in genocide and crimes against humanity during the massacres of Tutsis in Rwanda in 1994.

It sentenced him to 14 years in jail.

Claude Muhayimana worked as a driver at a hotel in western Rwanda and was accused of transporting Interahamwe Hutu militia to various locations where Tutsis were killed.

He denied the charges.

He was married to a Tutsi woman at the time and investigators also said he had hidden some Tutsis at risk of death and helped some flee.
