The former interior minister of Gambia has been convicted by Switzerland’s top criminal court for crimes against humanity, resulting in a 20-year prison sentence.
The Federal Criminal Court in the southern town of Bellinzona ruled that Sonko's crimes — including homicide, torture and false imprisonment — amounted to crimes against humanity. However, they did not rise to "aggravated" cases that could have brought the maximum penalty of life behind bars, according to several lawyers who attended the trial.
