A popular Rwandan singer has been jailed for 10 years after being convicted of planning to kill President Kagame and inciting hatred against the government.
Kizito Mihigo had earlier said he was guilty and asked for forgiveness, meaning his sentence was reduced.
His co-accused, Cassien Ntamuhanga, the director of a Christian radio station, was jailed for 25 years for terrorism and incitement.
