A court in Ivory Coast has sentenced former first lady, Simone Gbagbo, to 20 years in jail for her role in the violence that followed the 2010 elections.
Her husband, former President Laurent Gbagbo, is awaiting trial at the International Criminal Court.
More than 3,000 people died in the violence that followed the presidential poll after the ex-leader refused to accept defeat to Alassane Ouattara.
Simone and her husband were arrested in 2011 after troops stormed a bunker where the pair had taken refuge in the main city, Abidjan.
