Answer 1

In this scenario, the leaders of the remaining group could be tried on the charge of **genocide**. Genocide is defined as acts committed with the intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial, or religious group. The deliberate and systematic killing of members of the other religious group in this case fits the definition of genocide.
