| Ivory Coast President Alassane Ouattara has pardoned 51 prisoners who had been jailed for committing violence and crimes "against state security" during the country's 2010 post-electoral crisis. | |
| The West African country was plunged into violence after incumbent President Laurent Gbagbo refused to cede power to Mr Ouattara, whom the electoral body had declared the winner of a disputed run-off poll. | |
| During the crisis that lasted from November 2010 to April 2011, more than 3,000 people were killed and over 150 women sexually abused, a report by Human Rights Watch said. | |
| The pardoned offenders include General Brunot Dogbo Ble, who was a top military official under Mr Gbagbo. | |
| He led the elite Republican Guard, which was accused of committing several of the killings. | |
| The gesture of pardoning the offenders is part of President Ouattara's "commitment to work resolutely to consolidate peace", the AFP news agency reported, citing an official statement. | |
