The three were accused of mass murder, crimes against humanity, and forming a group that committed atrocities and broke into homes to look for people to kill.
The three refused to speak during the trial, and have appealed their convictions. Three other Rwandans have been sentenced to death for the mass killings in 1994 that followed the plane crash death of Hutu President Juvenal Habyarimana.
