    Four ex-special force soldiers were sentenced to more than 6,000 years each...for the 1982 slaughter of 201 civilians iduring the nation's bloody civil war.
   The sentences are symbolic since 50 years is the maximum.
   "We waited many years for justice," said a survivor. "I saw when they were killing people. They had us kneeling for five hours and would put their rifles in our mouths every time we asked them to stop killing the others."
