Another of Jammeh’s men faces trial in US for past atrocities in Gambia
Plaintiffs pose at the entrance of the Swiss Federal Criminal Court, on January 8, 2024 in Bellinzona, southern Switzerland at the opening day of the trial of Ousman Sonko, a Gambian former interior minister accused of crimes against humanity committed under the regime of ex-dictator Yahya Jammeh.
Another of former Gambian strongman Yahya Jammeh’s men is facing trial for past atrocities that prosecutors say helped put the West African leader in power through the suppression of dissent.
The trial of Michael Sang Correa begins later on Monday in Denver, United States, and could reveal the extent of the methods used to maim or kill Jammeh’s opponents.
