The Supreme Court in Ivory Coast has overturned a ruling which acquitted the former first lady Simone Gbagbo of crimes against humanity in the aftermath of political violence following the presidential election eight years ago. Richard Hall reports. Simone Gbagbo was Ivory Coast's first lady for eleven years, then a bitterly-fought presidential election in 2010 between her husband Laurent and Alassane Ouattara who won the vote, plunged Ivory Coast into post-election violence which saw 3000 people killed in Abidjan alone. She was accused of organizing death squads, buying arms and shelling a marketplace in a pro-Ouattara neighborhood of Abidjan and later she was jailed for twenty years for attacking state security. The Supreme Court ruling now means Mrs. Gbagbo will face a retrial for crimes against humanity at a date to be announced.
