【乍得前总统被非洲特别法庭判处终身监禁】In a landmark case for African justice, Chad’s former leader Hissene Habre has been found guilty of committing crimes against humanity. The trial held in Senegal with the support of the African Union found Habre caused thousands of deaths, and was responsible for the widespread use of torture in prisons during his reign from 1982 to 1990. He was sentenced to life imprisonment for atrocities including murder, torture and rape. The case is being called the first victory for an African court in upholding the principal of “universal jurisdiction” for international crimes.http://applist.cctvnews.cn/publish/website/data/data/2016/05/31/1569473/detail.html
