"Chuckie" Taylor, the son of former Liberian President Charles Taylor has been sentenced by a US court to 97 years in prison for torture.

It is the first time a US court applied a 1994 law allowing the prosecution of citizens who commit torture overseas.

Chuckie Taylor, 31, who headed a notorious paramilitary unit during his father's rule, said he would appeal.

Charles Taylor is on trial at a court in The Hague - he denies 11 counts of crimes against humanity and war crimes.
