11 witnesses have testified in the trial of Ousman Sonko, the former Gambian Interior Minister accused of crimes against humanity before the Swiss courts. The trial will continue in March.
The Swiss Attorney General’s office, along with 10 plaintiffs from Gambia, is accusing Mr Sonko of torture, murder, false imprisonment, rape, and deprivation of liberty, allegedly perpetrated against Gambians.
Unsurprisingly, the developing events in The Gambia are of particular interest to the victims of the brutal rule of that regime and they have followed the happenings closely as they unfolded.
