Lawyers for former Chadian President Hissene Habre, El Hadj Diouf (L) and Fran�s Serres attend a press conference in Dakar on August 22, 2008. The lawyers indicated that it wouldn't be fair that this "one man" be brought in front of a judge whilst concealing the "other protagonists" from Chad and Libya, and predicted that the Habre case would not go to trial. Habre has been sentenced to death in absentia, the Chadian justice minister confirmed on August 19, news that appeared to allay fears among rights activists in Senegal that Habre's trial there on a charge of crimes against humanity might be derailed by his conviction in Chad.
