Charles Taylor Judgement set for September 26

{{The Appeals Chamber of the Special Court for Sierra Leone (SCSL) said Tuesday it will deliver its judgment in the trial of former Liberian president Charles Taylor on September 26. }}

The judgment will be pronounced in The Hague, where the trial took place.

It will also be streamed live to the SCSL court house in Sierra Leone’s capital Freetown. On April 26, Taylor was found guilty of crimes against humanity and war crimes committed in Sierra Leone during that country’s civil war.

A month later, he was sentenced to 50 years in jail. Both defence and prosecution appealed.
