Al Hassan Ag Abdoul Aziz Ag Mohamed Ag Mahmoud awaits his verdict during a trial at the International Criminal Court in The Hague, Netherlands, Wednesday Nov. 20, 2024. The International Criminal Court sentenced an al-Qaida-linked extremist leader to 10 years in prison on Wednesday for war crimes and crimes against humanity carried out when he headed the Islam ic police in the historic desert city of Timbuktu in the west African country of Mali.
Dressed head to toe in white traditional robes, Al Hassan was expressionless as he listened to the sentence being read out. To the disappointment of many human rights groups, Al Hassan was acquitted of several charges focusing on the abuse of women. The three-judge panel found that rape and sexual slavery did occur while his group controlled Timbuktu, but that Al Hassan couldn’t be connected to those crimes.
