| Description | The former president of Ivory Coast, Laurent Gbagbo, has become the first former head of state to be taken into custody by the international criminal court.
Gbagbo was told at his secluded place of detention in northern Ivory Coast on Tuesday that a warrant for his arrest had been issued by the ICC, which immediately began his transfer.
"Yes, Gbagbo is on the plane, heading to the ICC," his lawyer Lucie Bourthoumieux told Reuters. |
