A German court has sentenced a Rwandan former mayor, Onesphore Rwabukombe, to 14 years in prison for his role in Rwanda's 1994 genocide.
The 56-year-old was found guilty of ordering the killing of hundreds of people in a church where they had sought refuge in Kiziguro.
He had been living as a political refugee in Germany since 2002.
It is the first trial connected with the Rwandan genocide to take place in Germany.
According to the AFP news agency, the three-year trial in Frankfurt heard from more than 100 witnesses and criminal investigators were sent to Rwanda.
