Prosecutors have urged a UN-backed tribunal at The Hague to increase a prison term handed down to Liberia’s former President Charles Taylor from 50 to 80 years. Mr. Taylor is appealing against his conviction for aiding and abetting rebels who committed atrocities during the civil war in neighbouring Sierra Leone. But the prosecution told judges that Mr. Taylor’s sentence should instead be increased to reflect his culpability.
