Theoneste Bagosora does he ring any bell?
He is the former senior defence official accused of killing 800,000 Tutsis and moderate Hutus in Rwanda between April & July 1994. Today at the UN court he was found guilty again after an appeal and he was sent for life imprisonment.
Bagosora, 67, and the two senior military officers were found to have organised, trained and armed the Interahamwe militia, which was responsible for most of the killing.
These are some facts about this man's trial
409 trial days
30,000 pages of transcripts
242 witnesses heard
1,600 exhibits
300 written decisions
Today in 2008 almost the end of it this man is found guilty. Was this much needed to confirm a genocide? Was the sentence a just one? Was it too soft? Did this man deserve to die?
