| dbo:abstract | Issa Hassan Sesay (* 27. Juni 1970 in Freetown) ist ein ehemaliger paramilitärischer Kommandeur der Revolutionary United Front (RUF) in Sierra Leone. Er ist einer von nur drei führenden Personen der RUF aus dem Bürgerkrieg in Sierra Leone, der für seine Kriegsverbrechen zur Verantwortung gezogen wurde. Sesay ist vor allem durch die Entwaffnung der RUF, die zum faktischen Ende des Bürgerkrieges führte, bekannt geworden. Sesay erhielt dennoch durch das Urteil des Sondergerichtshof für Sierra Leone am 25. Februar 2009 die mit 52 Jahren höchste Freiheitsstrafe aller Kriegsbeteiligter. Seine Mittäter Morris Kallon und Augustine Gbao erhielten 40 bzw. 25 Jahre. Sesay war von 1993 bis 1999 in hohen Positionen der RUF tätig und übernahm im Mai 2000 interimistisch die Führung der Rebellen. Er war zudem Führungsmitglied des Armed Forces Revolutionary Council. Sesay wurde vom Gericht, das ihn am 7. März 2003 festnehmen ließ, in 16 der 18 Anklagepunkte wegen Kriegsverbrechen und Verbrechen gegen die Menschlichkeit für schuldig befunden. Er sitzt seine 52-jährige Haftstrafe im Mpanga-Gefängnis in Ruanda ab. 2010 wurde Sesay zweimal zum Internationalen Gerichtshof zur Verteidigung im Prozess gegen den liberianischen Ex-Präsidenten Charles Taylor geladen. Ende 2018 bat er darum den Rest seiner Strafe in Sierra Leone verbüßen zu dürfen.

He was said to be subordinate only to Sam Bockarie, the Battlefield Commander, and Johnny Paul Koroma, leader of the AFRC. Sesay is known as the commander who ordered the disarmament of the RUF, effectively ending the Sierra Leone Civil War. On 7 March 2003 he was indicted by the Special Court for Sierra Leone for crimes against humanity and other war crimes, including terrorizing civilians, collective punishments, unlawful killings, crimes against humanity, sexual violence, physical violence, use of child soldiers, abductions and forced labor, looting and burning, and attacks on UNAMSIL personnel. He pleaded not guilty at his initial court appearance. On 25 February 2009 Sesay was convicted for 16 out of the 18 charges he faced at the Special Court for Sierra Leone in Freetown. Along with former leaders Morris Kallon, who received 40 years, and Augustine Gbao, who received 25, Sesay was sentenced to concurrent terms on the charges, the longest being a 52-year sentence. An award-winning documentary by Rebecca Richman Cohen released in 2010 titled War Don Don follows the rise and fall of the rebel leader.

Enligt vissa uppgifter var han den näst högste ledaren i organisationen. Som en av ledarna för RUF var han bland annat personligen involverad i rekrytering och träning av barnsoldater, ett flertal massakrer och sexuella övergrepp. Den 7 mars 2003 ställdes han inför rätta i Specialdomstolen för Sierra Leone anklagad för totalt 18 olika brott, däribland annat brott mot mänskligheten. Han förklarade sig oskyldig på samtliga åtalspunkter men befanns trots detta den 25 februari 2009 skyldig på 16 av åtalspunkterna och dömdes till livstids fängelse. (sv) |
