Deferral trial of ex-CAR leader Bozizé
A UN-supported court in the Central African Republic has begun a televised trial in absentia of former President François Bozizé on charges related to crimes against humanity committed between 2009 and 2013. These charges include murder, enforced disappearance, torture, and assaults by members of his security forces. An international arrest warrant was issued against him in 2024 after an investigation uncovered evidence indicating his criminal responsibility. The court is also examining charges related to crimes committed since 2003 as part of ongoing investigations into the country's war crimes. Bozizé left the country in 2013 following his ousting and has been living in exile in Chad and then Guinea-Bissau.
