Abidjan - Ivory Coast's former first lady Simone Gbagbo was due to appear in court on Monday to answer to a charge of undermining state security in a high-profile trial that led to scuffles outside the courtroom.
Police moved in to separate opponents of Gbagbo who yelled "Murderers!", referring to post-electoral bloodshed in 2010-11 that led to charges against her and 82 fellow defendants, from her supporters, who shouted back "Liars".
The wife of former president Laurent Gbagbo, who faces trial in July for crimes against humanity at the International Criminal Court in The Hague, is accused along with other figures in his regime of roles in violence that broke out in Abidjan when he refused to admit defeat in a presidential election in December 2010.
