- Ignace Murwanashyaka
- Charges
- Murwanashyaka was charged in 2009 with 26 counts of crimes against humanity and 39 counts of war crimes, including massive sexual violence (including gang rape of women). He was accused of ordering militias to commit mass murder and rape between January 2008 and the date of their arrest in Germany in November 2009 (command responsibility). However, over time, only charges related specifically to the killings remained, in part because “the court decided not to further tax the vulnerability of traumatized rape victims” or child soldiers by making them appear before the hearing.
- sentencing
- On 28 September 2015, Murwanashyaka was convicted for the remaining charges and received a sentence of 13 years in prison.
