Leon Mugesera, an academic and a former politician who in 1994, called the Tutsis minority in Rwanda “cockroaches” and called for their extermination, which led to many deaths, has been jailed for life in Rwanda, after being extradited from Canada, 4 years ago.
He made his provocative speech against the Tutsi minority in 1992. Some 800,000 people died in the genocide. Then an official in Rwanda’s ruling Hutu party, Mugesera told more than 1,000 party members that they should kill Tutsis and dump their bodies in the river.
