(SomaliNet) A Rwandese traditional gacaca court has sentenced a Catholic nun Theophister Mukakibibi, to 30 years in jail for helping militias kill hundreds of people hiding in a hospital during Rwanda's 1994 genocide, AP reported.
The court sentenced the nun for helping Hutu militiamen to kill ethnic Tutsis seeking refuge from the slaughter in Butare hospital, where she worked. "She was responsible for selecting Tutsis and would throw them out of the hospital and the militia would then kill them," said Jean Baptiste Ndahumba, president of the local gacaca court in Butare town. "This nun was organizing people to be killed." |
