The Minister of Justice of Senegal, Malik Sail, spoke about the death of Habré in custody on the air of the TFM television channel. “He is now in the hands of the Lord,” France 24 quoted the politician as saying.
Habré has been imprisoned since 2017. According to the channel, the cause of death was covid-19 . Also reported by AFP.
