Former Chad president Hissene Habre was found guilty Monday of crimes against humanity for ordering the killing and torture of thousands of political opponents during his eight-year rule which began in 1982.
He was sentenced by the Special African Chamber, created in 2013 by Senegal and the African Union, to life in prison.
The verdict caps a 16-year battle by victims and rights campaigners to bring the former strongman to justice in Senegal, where he fled after being toppled in a 1990 coup in the central African nation
