Investigated for war crimes, crimes against humanityAmid a growing demand for the establishment of a war crimes court in Liberia to try those suspected of bearing the greatest responsibilities for the country’s 14-year civil war, French security authorities have arrested and detained a suspected former front-line military commander from Liberia’s brutal civil war. I cannot speak for the court, but we are confident that Kunti K. committed several crimes,” Wavre said. According to AFP, Kunti K. was arrested on Tuesday, September 4, in the northeast Paris suburb of Bobigny where he had been hiding out at the home of a friend. Paris prosecutors had opened an initial investigation into Kunti K., after victims’ rights group Civitas Maxima filed a criminal complaint on July 23. Contacted by AFP, the Geneva-based group, which offers legal support to victims of war crimes and crimes against humanity, declined to comment on the case.
