International Criminal Court judges are delivering their verdicts Monday in the trial of an alleged Arab militia leader in Sudan who prosecutors say was responsible for “beastly violence” in the deadly Darfur conflict more than two decades ago.
Ali Muhammad Ali Abd–Al-Rahman, also known as Ali Kushayb, pleaded innocent to all 31 charges of war crimes and crimes against humanity when his trial opened in April 2022. He is accused of offenses including murder, torture, rape, persecution and attacking civilians.
