Quick Summary

Anatole Nsengiyumva was a Rwandan military officer who was convicted for his role in the 1994 Rwandan genocide. He was sentenced to life imprisonment in 2008 by the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR) for masterminding killings, though his sentence was later reduced to 15 years on appeal. Based on the time served, he was released immediately.1

The 1994 Rwandan genocide was a planned campaign of mass murder over approximately 100 days, during which extremist Hutu elements sought to eliminate the Tutsi population and their moderate Hutu opponents. It is estimated that over 800,000 civilians were killed.1
