S Leone war crimes sentence due

The Kamajor militia supported the government in the civil war

Sierra Leone's UN-backed war crimes court is due to sentence two ex-leaders of a pro-government militia guilty of crimes committed during the civil war.

Moinina Fofana and Allieu Kondewa were convicted in August for offences including murder and cruel treatment.

The case has been controversial as some saw the Civil Defence Force (CDF) as defending civilians against rebels in the 10-year war that ended in 2002.

Some 50,000 people were killed and many more maimed and raped during the war.
