KHARTOUM, Sudan (AP) - Nearly 16 years after the overthrow of former Chadian dictator Hissene Habre, survivors of his barbarous military regime have added yet another victim to the tens of thousands of deaths blamed on him.
Sabadet Totodet died in Chad three weeks ago of tuberculosis, joining scores of former prisoners who have succumbed to diseases and other ailments caused by abusive treatment under Habre, according to Chad's Association of Victims of Crimes and Political Repression.
Others endure a legacy of physical and mental handicaps while the man dubbed the "butcher of Chad" lives freely in Senegal despite an international indictment for crimes against humanity, the association says.
