In a press release today, the Saudi Embassy said the Criminal Court in Niamey sentenced Hassan Ould Mohamed and Hadi Omsara to twenty and ten years in prison respectively, and ordered them to pay financial compensation equivalent to $300,000 for the family of the victims and $200,000 for the injured.
