African warlord serving 50 years in
prison for crimes against humanity is suing Britain for denying him the right
to a family life. Charles Taylor, the former Liberian president who reportedly
ate the hearts of his enemies, says his incarceration in a jail in county
Durham keeps him from his wife and 15 children in Africa.
The UK agreed to imprison Taylor,
66, after he was convicted in 2012 of 11 counts of war crimes and crimes
against humanity, including terrorism, murder, rape and using child soldiers
during a civil war in Sierra Leone in the 1990s that left tens of thousands of
people dead.
