Charles Taylor misses his own trial - Times Online

Excerpt:
"As four judges robed in red and black filed in for the trial of the first African leader to face an international court, it was immediately clear that something was missing.

To the left of the raised bench, a prosecution team of seven lawyers and assistants were awaiting the opening of the case. But to the judges' right, there were just two lawyers and an empty front row seat.

Charles Taylor, the former President of Liberia facing 11 counts of war crimes and crimes against humanity during the Sierra Leone civil war, was boycotting his trial."
