"Former Ivory Coast President Laurent Gbagbo is on his way to the International Criminal Court (ICC) at The Hague after being issued with an arrest warrant.
He left the northern town of Korhogo, where he had been under house arrest since April when he was ousted.
The ICC has been investigating alleged war crimes committed in unrest after last year's disputed elections.
The transfer comes just two weeks before legislative elections.
Forces loyal to him and those of his rival, President Alassane Ouattara, stand accused of killings, rapes and other alleged abuses in the conflict"
