"In the first case of its kind since the Nuremberg trials, an international court [convened in Tanzania] convicted three Rwandans of genocide for media
reports that fostered the killing of about 800,000
Rwandans, mostly of the Tutsi minority, over several months
in 1994. A three-judge panel said the three men had used a radio
station and a newspaper published twice a month to mobilize
Rwanda's Hutu majority against the Tutsi, who were
massacred at churches, schools, hospitals and roadblocks.
The court said the newspaper "poisoned the minds" of
readers against the Tutsi, while the radio station openly
called for their extermination, luring victims to killing
grounds and broadcasting the names of people to be singled
out."
