Of the 120,000 suspects charged with crimes related to the 1994 genocide, only 2,500 cases were completed by the national courts between 1997, when courts began functioning again, and April 2001. About 400 people were sentenced to death, 22 of whom were executed in 1998. Others received various sentences ranging from life to a few years imprisonment. About 700 were acquitted. Since 1996, Rwandan law has divided suspects of genocide and crimes against humanity into four categories according to the seriousness of the crime.
