Kigali, 26 March-(ANA)-A Rwandan court has sentenced an opposition politician to 17 years in jail for his part in the 1994 genocide.
Joseph Ntawangundi initially denied participating in the genocide but later pleaded guilty to the charges.
Ntawangundi was convicted for his involvement in the deaths of eight people who were killed at a school he ran in eastern Rwanda.
Ntawangundi is an aide to opposition leader Victoire Ingabire, who has complained of harassment.
Both Ms Ingabire and Ntawangundi have recently returned to Rwandan after spending years in exile.(ANA)
