Senegal: Victims charge Habré with crimes against humanity
19.09.2008
Fourteen abuse victims, backed by a coalition of African and international rights groups, have filed complaints with a Senegalese prosecutor accusing the former Chadian dictator Hissène Habré of crimes against humanity and torture. The charges mark a new phase in the long-running effort to bring Habré to trial for atrocities committed during his 1982-1990 rule.
