The move aims to address human rights violations during Yahya Jammeh’s presidency.
The Gambian government has appointed a British barrister to lead the prosecution of crimes committed during the regime of former President Yahya Jammeh. This decision comes as part of ongoing efforts to seek justice for victims of enforced disappearances and extrajudicial killings that marked Jammeh’s 22-year rule.
The barrister, who has extensive experience in international human rights law, will work alongside local authorities to build cases against those responsible for these serious violations.
This initiative reflects Gambia’s commitment to accountability and the rule of law, as the country continues to heal from the traumatic legacy of Jammeh’s governance.
