Naturalised Dutch woman jailed for inciting Rwandan genocide
A Rwandan-born Dutch woman has been sentenced to six years and eight months in jail for inciting genocide.
Yvonne Basebya, 66, who moved to the Netherlands in 1998, was found guilty of inciting genocide against her ethnic Tutsi neighbours before the Rwandan genocide of 1994.
She was cleared of other charges, including carrying out genocide, murder and war crimes, the BBC reports. As a naturalised Dutch citizen, she was tried in an ordinary Dutch court rather than a special international tribunal.
