As Kunti Kamara’s war crimes appeal enters the final stages, his lawyers are calling on the jury to reject the prosecutors’ plea of guilty due to the lack of sufficient evidence.

New Narratives senior reporter, Evelyn Kpadeh Seagbeh, has been covering Kamara’s appeal for more than three weeks now. Here is Evelyn with an update.
