The Appeals chamber of the United Nations International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR) on Friday (July 7) sentenced a former Rwandan mayor to life imprisonment for his role in the 1994 genocide. Judge Mohamed Shahabuddeen, presiding, handed down the sentence to Sylvestre Gacumbitsi, in revision of an earlier 30-year jail term imposed by a trial chamber of the tribunal.
