RUF leaders Issa Sesay and Morris Kallon were convicted of 16 of the 18 charges, while Augustine Gbao, was found guilty on 14 of the counts.
The Freetown trial of the RUF rebel leaders, related to Sierra Leone’s 10-year civil war, began in mid-2004.
Many RUF victims in the court sighed with relief at the verdicts. Sentences will be decided at a later date.
HURRARC (Human Rights Respect Awareness Raising Campaigners) is a Sierra Leone NGO based in Freetown. It was founded in 1992, by Sahr GMP Fania together with other refugees from Sierra Leone at the time of the outbreak of the civil war, to document the Human Rights Violations being committed by all parties. HURRARC has been registered as a Community Based Organisation (CBO) with Freetown City Council.
