Court sentences Mengistu to death
Ethiopia's highest court threw out a January, 2007 court ruling giving Mengistu and 17 of his senior associates life sentences for their part in the deaths of thousands of people between 1974 and 1991. Now, if the former Marxist leader were to return to Ethiopia from exile in Zimbabwe, he'd face the death penalty.
