Rwanda genocide tribunal makes rare acquittal

[dArKeR]

Dar es Salaam - A United Nation's tribunal acquitted two men charged with involvement in Rwanda's 1994 genocide on Wednesday, only the second time the court has handed down "not guilty" verdicts in its 10-year history, a court spokesperson said.

The court said the prosecutor had not proved beyond reasonable doubt the guilt of former transport and communications Minister Andre Ntagerura, 54, and a former senior government official, Emmanuel Bagambiki, 55.

Former lieutenant Samuel Imanishimwe, 43, who was tried alongside the two men, was found guilty of ordering security forces and militiamen to kill ethnic Tutsis and sentenced to 27 years in prison.

This is sort of like the Anti-Matter of Cook County Sheriff's Dept. of not convicting a Sheriff in 110 odd years.
