The former first lady of Ivory Coast ,prisoner Simone Gbagbo was sentenced to 20 years for his role in violence following the 2010 elections where more than 3,000 people were killed prescribed by the president of amnesty said one step to improve reconciliation.
Laurent Gbagbo, was on trial at the International Criminal Court for crimes against humanity while Gbagbo was among the 800 men accused by President Alassane Ouattara.
Speaking on state television, the president said that through the amnesty he wanted to bring about "peace and real reconciliation". The violence in 2010 in Ivory Coast, the world's biggest cocoa producer, was sparked by Mr Gbagbo refusing to accept that he lost a disputed election run-off to Mr Ouattara.
Mr and Mrs Gbagbo were arrested in 2011 after troops stormed a bunker where the pair had taken refuge in the main city, Abidjan. The former first lady was accused of "attempting to undermine the security of the state", disturbing public order and organising armed gangs.
She was also charged with crimes against humanity but was acquitted in a separate trial in 2017. That acquittal has since been overturned.
