Uganda: How Jailed Ex-LRA Leader Forced Children to Kill – The News Chronicle

Perhaps, it’s no longer news that the International Criminal Court (ICC) on Thursday sentenced a former leader of the Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA) in Uganda to 25 years imprisonment. The jailed ex-war lord was himself abducted by the rebel group as a child, and later graduated into forcing children to kill. Dominic Ongwen, 45, was found guilty of 61 charges of crimes against humanity and war crimes, including rape, murder and sexual enslavement, committed in Northern Uganda between July 2002 and 31 December. In summarising the decision to sentence him, Presiding Judge Bertram Schmitt highlighted the unique nature of the case. “The Chamber is confronted in the present case with a unique situation. It is confronted with a perpetrator who willfully and lucidly brought tremendous suffering upon his victims”, he said.

iAfrica 7 hours ago 1 min read Share with your network! The international criminal court has sentenced a former militia leader and child soldier from Uganda to 25 years in prison after he was found guilty of war crimes and crimes against humanity in a landmark judgment. The presiding judge, Bertram Schmitt, said the panel of judges had considered sentencing Dominic Ongwen to life imprisonment, the court’s harshest punishment, but had sided against it due to the defendant’s own personal suffering. The 41-year-old was “a perpetrator who wilfully brought tremendous suffering upon his victims, however, also a perpetrator who himself has previously endured extreme suffering at the hands of the group of which he later became a prominent member and leader”, Schmitt said on Thursday as he announced the sentence. The court rejected defence arguments that because Ongwen was abduc
