TAC leader Achmat charged with genocide in the International Criminal Court at The Hague

 
A criminal complaint against South African Treatment Action Campaign leader Zackie Achmat has been served on the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC) at The Hague.

Particularized in a 59-page draft bill of indictment, the complaint seeks Achmat’s prosecution on a charge of genocide, arising from his direct criminal role in the deaths of thousands of South Africans, mostly black, mostly poor, from poisoning with so-called antiretroviral drugs.
