On September 29, 2014, the Appeals Chamber of the ICTR (Appeals Chamber) delivered judgments in the cases of Édouard Karemera and Matthieu Ngirumpatse; Ildéphonse Nizeyimana; and Callixte Nzabonimana.  According to the press release, “[t]he Appeals Chamber reversed certain findings of the Trial Chamber, which, however, did not result in the overturning of any of Karemera’s or Ngirumpatse’s convictions” and affirmed their life sentences.  In the case of Nizeyimana, the Appeals Chamber affirmed a number of his convictions, but also “found that the Trial Chamber erred in concluding, as the only reasonable inference, that Nizeyimana planned the attack on Cyahinda Parish and authorized the participation of ESO soldiers therein” and contributed to the killing of Pierre Claver Karenzi.  The Appeals Chamber reversed several convictions related to these events and therefore reduced his sentence to thirty-five years.  In the case of Nzabonimana, the Appeals Chamber reversed several of his convictions, but affirmed his sentence of life imprisonment.
