But a French court again found Mr Kamara guilty of war crimes.
A French court has confirmed the conviction of Liberian former rebel, Kunti Kamara, for his role during Liberia’s civil war three decades ago.
At his first trial in 2022, following his arrest in France, he was found guilty of crimes against humanity and violence against civilians, but appealed against the ruling.
He was accused of failing to prevent soldiers who were under his command from raping two teenage girls in 1994, the AFP news agency reports.
Kamara was a regional commander of a faction of the United Liberation Movement of Liberia for Democracy which fought the National Patriotic Front of former President Charles Taylor.
The conflict between 1989 and 2003 killed more than 250,000 people.
