Gambian Ex-Minister Faces Trial for Atrocities

Former Gambian interior minister Ousman Sonko is facing rape, torture, and murder charges in a landmark trial in Switzerland, marking a significant step towards global accountability for atrocities. The trial involves complaints from several plaintiffs who allege rape, torture, and murder committed by Sonko during Jammeh's regime. Sonko denies the charges, and his lawyer plans to challenge the case based on issues with the investigations and hearings.
