Argentine court convicts priest of complicity in 'dirty war' deaths
<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->More than two decades after the end of Argentina's dirty war, an Argentine federal court on Tuesday <b>convicted a Catholic priest of participating in a series of crimes that it said were "akin to genocide</b>."
A panel of three federal judges sentenced Christian von Wernich , 69, to life imprisonment after finding him guilty of direct participation in seven murders and direct or indirect involvement in 42 cases of kidnapping and torture.

I think even during Rawanda genocide of '90s, some priests or nuns actively participated in crimes against humanity. Does anyone remember this? Any links?
