Former Liberian president Charles Taylor has been sentenced to 50 years in prison by judges at a United Nations-backed court in the Hague for war crimes during the long-running civil war in Sierra Leone.
The 64-year-old was found guilty by the court last month for arming Sierra Leone rebels in return for “blood diamonds”.
“The trial chamber unanimously sentences you to a single term of imprisonment for 50 years on all counts,” Special Court for Sierra Leone judge Richard Lussick said on Today at the court based just outside The Hague.
