A Rwandan man who moved to the US was last week convicted of immigration fraud for lying about his role in the Rwandan genocide, the Jurist reported.
The prosecution said Gervais Ngombwa was the leader of a Hutu party responsible for massacring Tutsis during the 1994 genocide.
He was sentenced to 15 years followed by deportation to Rwanda where he will stand trial for genocide.
Sri Lanka is one of the most dangerous places in the world to be a journalist. Tamil journalists are particularly at threat, with at least 41 media workers known to have been killed by the Sri Lankan state or its paramilitaries during and after the armed conflict.
