LIBERIAN REBEL COMMANDER KUNTI KAMARA CONVICTED

Date:

Former United Liberation Movement of Liberia for Democracy (ULIMO) Commander, Kunti Kamara, has been convicted of war crimes in Liberia by the French Court of Appeal.

The court has upheld a 30-year jail sentence for a range of horrific acts including barbarism, rape, torture, and other grave violations.

This verdict marks a significant step towards justice for the victims of atrocities committed during Liberia’s tumultuous past.

Kamara’s accountability for these atrocities serves as a stark reminder that those responsible for heinous crimes will face consequences, even across international borders.
