ICC Sentences Sudanese Militia Leader to 20 Years
Update: 2025-12-09
Description
Ali Kushayb, a Sudanese militia leader, was sentenced to 20 years in prison by the International Criminal Court for war crimes and crimes against humanity in Darfur. He was the first person tried by the ICC for these atrocities, which included ethnic cleansing and genocide against the non-Arabic population. Kushayb, who denied the charges, was found guilty of ordering and personally committing these crimes. The ICC hopes this sentence will serve as a deterrent, given the ongoing violence in Sudan.
