KAMPALA, Uganda — A prominent Rwandan opposition leader, Bernard Ntaganda, who was accused of stoking ethnic tensions, was sentenced Friday to four years in jail, Rwandan authorities said.
“There is no place for hate speech and divisionism in Rwanda,” the chief prosecutor, Martin Ngoga, said in a statement.
Ntaganda pleaded not guilty to the charges. He is the second person who sought to run in last year’s elections to end up in jail. The other was Victoire Ingabire. Both are Hutu; President Paul Kagame is Tutsi.
