\n<\/span><\/p>\nThe former president of Ivory Coast, Laurent Gbagbo, has been moved out of the main city of Abidjan a day after his arrest, a UN spokesman has said.<\/p>\n
The spokesman did not say where Mr Gbagbo had gone but said UN troops were with him to guarantee his security.<\/p>\n
He was detained after a week-long siege by forces loyal to his rival, the UN-recognised president Alassane Ouattara.<\/p>\n
Mr Ouattara has promised that Mr Gbagbo will not be harmed, but Abidjan remains unstable with sporadic gunfire heard.<\/p>\n
There are reports that some soldiers and militiamen loyal to Mr Gbagbo have refused to surrender, despite his call for an end to the fighting.<\/p>\n
Mr Gbagbo and his wife, Simone, were taken to Mr Ouattara’s headquarters at the Golf Hotel in Abidjan immediately after his arrest.<\/p>\n
But UN spokesman Farhan Haq told a news conference in New York on Tuesday that UN peacekeepers had since “helped to move him to another place in Ivory Coast where he is secure”.<\/p>\n
Mr Haq said only that the new location was outside Abidjan. UN troops would remain with Mr Gbagbo “to ensure his safety”, he added.<\/p>\n
The head of UN peacekeeping operations, Alain Le Roy, said on Monday that Mr Ouattara might move Mr Gbagbo to his stronghold in the north. <\/p>\n
On Monday evening, Mr Ouattara said “all measures” would be taken to ensure the “physical integrity” of Mr Gbagbo and his wife.<\/p>\n
He said he had asked his justice minister to launch legal proceedings would be started against them and their aides.<\/p>\n
“They will be treated with dignity and their rights will be respected.”<\/p>\n
Mr Ouattara also announced that a truth and reconciliation commission would be set up to “shed light on all the massacres, crimes, and all cases of human rights violation”. Both sides have been accused of atrocities.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p>\n
