00:01Prosecutors at the International Criminal Court are presenting their closing arguments in the case against Mohamed Saïd Abdelkani.
00:08The alleged commander of a rebel group from Central African Republic is facing multiple counts of crimes against humanity and war crimes.
00:15He is accused of overseeing torture, persecution and enforced disappearances at detention centers in the capital Bangui in 2013.
00:23They say Saïd was part of the predominantly Muslim Seleka rebels, who seized power in that year from then-President François Bozizet.
00:31Prosecutors say documents and witness testimony shows that Saïd had complete control over the prisons and personally took part in the abuse.
00:39He pleaded not guilty to all charges when the proceedings began, with his defense team saying the evidence against him was unreliable and insufficient.
