Updated on 26 December 2007
A court in Chad has sentenced six French aid workers to eight years of forced labour.
The French nationals were found guilty of trying to kidnap 103 children from the African country, officials said.
The court in the capital N'Djamena handed down its sentence on the fourth day of the trial of six members of the French humanitarian group Zoe's Ark, who were arrested in October for trying to fly the children, aged one to 10, to Europe.
