An ex-Sierra Leone militia leader was to walk free on Monday (May 28) after serving a 15-year sentence, the first to complete a term imposed for crimes in the country's civil war, a UN court said. The Residual Special Court for Sierra Leone "has reached a significant milestone, with the discharge later today of the first person convicted of war crimes to complete his full sentence," it said.
