Rwanda — Judges at the UN-backed court for Rwanda are to hand down a verdict for one of the first women charged with genocide before an international court.
Pauline Nyiramasuhuko, 65, was a government minister in 1994 in Rwanda when 800,000 people – mostly from the Tutsi ethnic group – were killed.
Along with four former local officials and her own son, she is accused of organising massacres as well as the rape of women and girls.
She denies all the charges.
