The International Criminal Court on Thursday said former Ivory Coast President Laurent Gbagbo can leave
Belgium under certain conditions following his acquittal last year over post-electoral violence that killed 3,000 people.
Gbagbo and his deputy Charles Ble Goude were both cleared of crimes against humanity a year ago, eight years after the former West African strongman's arrest and transfer to the Hague-based court.
Belgium agreed to host Gbagbo, 73, after he was released in February last year under strict conditions including that he would return to court for a prosecution appeal against his acquittal.
