TOPSHOT-DRCONGO-WARCRIMES-ICC
TOPSHOT - Supporters of Jean-Pierre Bemba react on June 8, 2018 in Kinshasa after the news that the International war crimes judges in The Hague acquitted the former Congolese vice president on appeal, overturning an 18-year sentence for war crimes committed in the Central African Republic. The Hague-based ICC's appeal judges said Bemba was "erroneously" convicted for specific criminal acts. Trial judges were also wrong in their finding that Bemba could in fact prevent crimes being committed by his MLC troops, they ruled. In 2016, the ICC's judges had unanimously found Bemba -- nicknamed "Miniature Mobutu" -- guilty on five charges of war crimes and crimes against humanity for abuses committed by his troops during a five-month rampage in the neighbouring CAR.
