The International Criminal Court on Monday convicted former militia leader Ali Muhammad Ali Abdul-Rehman for war crimes during the struggle in the field of Sudan more than two decades ago.
At that time, a senior commander in Janjavd Militia was found guilty in 27 cases including Abd_l-Rahman, rape, murder and harassment.
In 2003, 300,000 people were killed and 2.7 million were operated from their homes in Darfur after the rebellion by the region’s ethnic central and sub-city African community.
The loyal to Al-Bashir played a major role in the atrocities carried out by the government during a scorched-earth campaign by the government.,
What is the court’s decision?
ABD_al-Mahaman, ie Ali is known as Kushayab, is to be sent at a later date and faces maximum punishment of life in jail.
“He encouraged and directed that the results have been given in murders, rapes and destruction committees by Janjweed,” Judge Joona Corner said.
In April 2022, the accused had filed a petition of innocence for all allegations of war crimes and crimes against humanity when his test opened.
Fifty witnesses testified against him during the trial, describing scenes of violence and rape, which he presided over.
Abd_al-Rahman’s defense lawyers called 17 witnesses and argued that they had not played any role in the Darfur struggle.
