Description

In this edition we take a look at the historic trial, conviction and sentencing of Chad’s former leader, Hissène Habré in Senegal. It is the first time that an African country’s domestic court has tried another country’s ex-head of state on rights charges. On May 30, Habré was sentenced to life in prison for committing crimes against humanity, war crimes and acts of torture. The head of the commission in charge of investigating Habré's crimes says at least 40,000 people died under Habré’s rule.
