A former Rwandan media director has been sentenced to six years in prison after admitting inciting violence during the 1994 genocide. Joseph Serugendo this week agreed a plea bargain at a UN court, under which charges of genocide were dropped. Serugendo, 53, is terminally ill. Some 800,000 Tutsis and moderate Hutus were killed in the 1994 slaughter. Serugendo is a former technical director of Radio Mille Collines (RTLM), which urged Hutus to murder Tutsis.
