A Norwegian appeals court upheld Friday the maximum sentence for a Rwandan found complicit in the death of 2,000 people during his country’s genocide in 1994. Sadi Bugingo — whose guilt was already upheld by a lower court in mid-December — was sentenced to 21 years in prison for “complicity in premeditated murder”. <\/p>\n
A Norwegian resident since 2002, Bugingo was charged with involvement in two killings in the eastern Rwandan town of Kibungo in April 1994 as well as having helped remove patients from a hospital, without taking direct part in any murders. <\/p>\n
The Norwegian jury believed he had transported the assassins and showed them where Tutsis — the main target during of the atrocity — were hiding. Bugingo, for his part, always maintained his innocence. <\/p>\n
