Benin opposition leader and former justice minister Reckya Madougou was sentenced on Saturday to 20 years in prison on charge of terrorism before a special court in the capital Porto-Novo.
After more than 20 hours of hearings after she went on trial on Friday, Madougou, 47, was found guilty of “complicity in terrorist acts” by the Economic Crime and Terrorism Court, or Criet, which on Tuesday sentenced another key opposition figure to 10 years.
