Source: US News & World Report

“Prosecutors at the International Criminal Court told judges on Tuesday that a suspected Seleka militia leader in the Central African Republic had complete control over a prison where inmates were arbitrarily detained and abused over a decade ago. According to prosecutors, Mahamat Said Abdel Kani ran a prison where suspected supporters of then-President Francois Bozize were beaten and tortured. … Said has denied seven charges of war crimes and crimes against humanity. His defence will present their closing argument later this week.” (11/25/25)
