Rwandan Shock Jock Jailed
The BBC reports that a Rwandan journalist who encouraged Hutus to slaughter Tutsis during the 1994 genocide has been jailed for life after admitting to inciting violence.
In one broadcast Valerie Bemerik told her listeners: “Do not kill those cockroaches with a bullet - cut them to pieces with a machete.”
She was one of the most prominent voices of Radio Mille Collines - a station which became notorious for its encouragement of the slaughter.
Two senior executives of Radio Milles Collines have previously been sentenced to long jail terms by the UN’s Rwanda tribunal, based in Arusha, Tanzania.
About 800,000 ethnic Tutsis and moderate Hutus were slaughtered in 100 days in Rwanda.
