THE HAGUE, Netherlands—An alleged Sudanese militia leader charged with more than 50 crimes against humanity and war crimes in the Darfur conflict appeared June 15 before a judge at the International Criminal Court for the first time since his transfer to the court last week, and said the charges against him were “untrue.”

CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus, commonly known as the novel coronavirus, restrictions meant that Ali Mohammed Ali Abdul Rahman Ali, known as Ali Kushayb, appeared via a video link from the court’s detention center near The Hague’s North Sea coastline.
