An Ivory Coast court sentenced former first lady Simone Gbagbo to 20 years in prison for her alleged involvement in the post-election violence of 2010.

She was on trial alongside 78 other allies of her husband, ex-president Laurent Gbagbo. His refusal to admit defeat by current president Alassane Ouattara pitched the country into a chaotic conflict that claimed nearly 3,000 lives in five months.

Simone’s 20-year sentence was double the 10 years requested by the state prosecutor.
