Prosecutors at the International Criminal Court allege that Mahamat Said Abdel Kani, a suspected militia leader from the Central African Republic, had complete control over a prison where supporters of former President Francois Bozize were arbitrarily detained and abused. Said is accused of personally taking part in the abuse and denies seven charges of war crimes and crimes against humanity.
