\u00c2g\u00e9 de 56 ans, Mahamat Sa\u00efd Abdel Kani a \u00e9t\u00e9 reconnu coupable de privation grave de libert\u00e9, torture, pers\u00e9cution et autres actes inhumains commis entre mai et ao\u00fbt 2013 \u00e0 Bangui, au sein de l\u2019Office central de r\u00e9pression du banditisme (OCRB). Il \u00e9tait alors le responsable de facto de cette unit\u00e9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Selon les juges, des civils consid\u00e9r\u00e9s comme des partisans de l\u2019ancien pr\u00e9sident Fran\u00e7ois Boziz\u00e9 ont \u00e9t\u00e9 arr\u00eat\u00e9s et d\u00e9tenus ill\u00e9galement. La CPI a \u00e9tabli que les victimes \u00e9taient notamment cibl\u00e9es en fonction de crit\u00e8res politiques, ethniques, religieux ou li\u00e9s au genre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

La chambre de premi\u00e8re instance a \u00e9galement examin\u00e9 les m\u00e9thodes de torture utilis\u00e9es contre les d\u00e9tenus. Parmi elles figurait l\u2019\u00ab arbatachar \u00bb, une technique consistant \u00e0 attacher \u00e9troitement les mains, les coudes et les pieds d\u2019une personne derri\u00e8re son dos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Selon les \u00e9l\u00e9ments pr\u00e9sent\u00e9s devant la Cour, des prisonniers subissaient des violences et \u00e9taient notamment frapp\u00e9s avec des cordes ou des fouets. Certains \u00e9taient enferm\u00e9s dans une cellule souterraine sombre, exigu\u00eb, mal ventil\u00e9e et sans sanitaires, sous le bureau de Sa\u00efd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

La CPI a conclu que Sa\u00efd avait particip\u00e9 aux interrogatoires et aux mauvais traitements et qu\u2019il \u00e9tait pr\u00e9sent lors de certaines s\u00e9ances de torture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

La Cour a toutefois \u00e9cart\u00e9 les accusations de crimes de guerre port\u00e9es contre lui. Le Bureau du Procureur de la CPI a indiqu\u00e9 qu\u2019il examinerait le jugement afin de d\u00e9terminer les prochaines \u00e9tapes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

La peine de Mahamat Sa\u00efd Abdel Kani sera d\u00e9termin\u00e9e ult\u00e9rieurement, lors d\u2019une audience consacr\u00e9e \u00e0 la sentence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Les faits jug\u00e9s remontent \u00e0 2013, lorsque la coalition rebelle S\u00e9l\u00e9ka, principalement compos\u00e9e de groupes musulmans, a renvers\u00e9 Fran\u00e7ois Boziz\u00e9 et pris le contr\u00f4le de Bangui. Cette prise de pouvoir a contribu\u00e9 \u00e0 l\u2019escalade des violences et \u00e0 la formation des milices anti-balaka, principalement chr\u00e9tiennes et animistes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le conflit a \u00e9t\u00e9 marqu\u00e9 par de graves violences contre les civils et des accusations de crimes commis par les diff\u00e9rentes parties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

L\u2019affaire de Mahamat Sa\u00efd est issue de la deuxi\u00e8me enqu\u00eate de la CPI sur la situation en Centrafrique. Cette enqu\u00eate a \u00e9t\u00e9 ouverte apr\u00e8s le renvoi de la situation par les autorit\u00e9s centrafricaines en mai 2014. Le proc\u00e8s de Sa\u00efd avait d\u00e9but\u00e9 en septembre 2022. L\u2019accusation s\u2019est appuy\u00e9e sur les t\u00e9moignages de 81 t\u00e9moins et plus de 2 500 \u00e9l\u00e9ments de preuve, notamment des documents, photographies, images et vid\u00e9os.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mahamat Sa\u00efd, remis \u00e0 la CPI par les autorit\u00e9s centrafricaines en janvier 2021, est ainsi devenu le premier haut responsable de la S\u00e9l\u00e9ka \u00e0 \u00eatre jug\u00e9 par la Cour pour les crimes commis par le mouvement en Centrafrique.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
