On Monday 20 July 2015, the trial of former Chadian leader Hissène Habré will begin.
The ACtHPR Monitor has been busy tweeting in anticipation of the beginning of this historic trial and I wanted to quickly set out all these links here in one place. This list is by no means exhaustive but it should help you get fully briefed on the the Habré trial.
- The website of the Extraordinary African Chambers where Hissène Habré’s trial will take place here (in French).
- Extensive resources including links to the excellent documentary Parler De Rose from Human Rights Watch here.
- BBC 2012 profile of Hissène Habré still worth a read here.
- Excellent (and long) piece by Michael Bronner in Foreign Policy Magazine here.
- Short report and documentary by Euro News on Hissène Habré’s victims here.
Hopefully these links will help get readers up to speed on the upcoming trial. If you would like to recommend other materials please get in touch.
