Pauline Nyiramasuhuko, 65, was also found guilty of inciting rape at the UN-backed International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda, which is prosecuting those accused of orchestrating the killings of more than 800,000 people in Rwanda in 1994.

She stood accused alongside her son, Arsene Ntahobali, 41, who was a student at the time of the massacres. In the dock beside his mother, he was also convicted of similar charges yesterday. The pair were sentenced to life in prison.

As a senior member of the Hutu government which planned the genocide, Nyiramasuhuko took part in cabinet meetings where decisions were made on how to exterminate the Tutsi minority in Rwanda.

Massacring the truth in Rwanda

More than a year after Rwanda's civil war was supposed to have ended, Kigali airport still looks like a battlefield. The walls are spattered with bullet holes, broken windows have not been replaced and shattered glass has not even been swept up. Arriving at the airport gave me the first of many signs that this was a country determined to put the evidence of what is known as 'the genocide' on display for all who visit.

Many hitherto untold stories.
