The French appeals court has upheld a 27-year prison sentence for former Rwandan doctor Eugène Rwamucyo, over his role in the 1994 genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda.

According to a  judicial source, the Paris court confirmed the sentence late Friday into Saturday. Rwamucyo, 67, was again found guilty of complicity in genocide, complicity in crimes against humanity, and joining a criminal conspiracy to prepare those crimes. He was, however, cleared of genocide and crimes against humanity charges.
