Ousman Sonko, former interior minister of Gambia is on trial in Switzerland. He is accused of crimes against humanity during his time in office. He is accused of murder, torture and rape.
The case has gathered international attention as it is unusual that an international case is brought to a local court in Switzerland. The trial at moments veered off into the bizarre as the prosecutor’s plea was held in German and no translation was made available to the accused.
