| Summary: | SENTENCED. PASTEUR BIZIMUNGU, 54, Rwanda's President after the 1994 genocide; to 15 years in jail for diverting public funds, inciting civil disobedience and associating with criminals; in Kigali, Rwanda. Bizimungu, a member of Rwanda's majority Hutu ethnic group, came to power with the Tutsi rebels who ended the extremist Hutu-led violence that killed some 800,000 Tutsis and moderate Hutus. He quit the presidency in 2000, and was arrested after forming a political party. Critics allege his conviction is politically motivated. |
