20110707 Reuters THE HAGUE (Reuters) - A Dutch appeals court sentenced on Thursday a Hutu man to life imprisonment on war crimes charges during Rwanda's 1994 genocide.
Joseph Mpambara had been convicted in March 2009 of torture and sentenced to 20 years imprisonment, but was acquitted on allegations of war crimes.
Prosecutors appealed that ruling in a trial that took place under a law allowing the prosecution of suspected war criminals living in the Netherlands.
