Jean Bosco Barayagwiza
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jean Bosco Barayagwiza was a leader of the Rwandan radio station Radio Télévision Libre des Mille Collines during the 1994 Rwandan Genocide.
He was charged by the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda on October 23, 2000 along with co-leader Ferdinand Nahimana and Hassan Ngeze, director and editor of the Kangura newspaper. Barayagwiza refused to partake in the trial, claiming that the judges were not impartial.[1]
After his conviction on December 3, 2003 to 35 years imprisonment (he was sentenced to 27 years, given his time already spent in captivity), he announced that he was appealing the sentence. He was assigned Donald Herbert as a new defence counsel on November 30, 2004.
