Congolese warlord sentenced to 30 years by ICC

A former Congolese rebel leader has been sentenced to 30 years for war crimes and crimes against humanity.

Fighters loyal to Bosco Ntaganda carried out massacres of civilians, said judges at the International Criminal Court (ICC) in July.

Ntaganda, nicknamed “Terminator”, was convicted on 18 counts including murder, rape, sexual slavery and using child soldiers.

The sentence is the longest that the ICC has handed down.
