Supermodel Campbell arrives at war crimes tribunal

Supermodel Naomi Campbell arrived at court today to give evidence at the war crimes trial of former Liberian leader Charles Taylor.

Campbell is said to have received a “blood diamond” from Taylor, who faces charges including criminal responsibility for murder, rape, sexual slavery and the use of child soldiers.

The 40-year-old model, from Streatham, south London, refused to take part in the trial at the Special Court for Sierra Leone in The Hague until she was issued with a subpoena.

She arrived at the courthouse in The Hague surrounded by police officers. She did not speak to reporters outside.
