Description
Switzerland's Federal Criminal Court has sentenced Gambian ex-interior minister Ousman Sonko to 20 years in prison for crimes against humanity committed under the regime of former dictator Yahya Jammeh. Sonko, 55, is the highest-ranking official ever convicted in Europe under universal jurisdiction for the most serious crimes. His lawyer, Phillipe Currat, indicates that the defence will "probably appeal the guilty verdict on the basis of all the facts that were the subject of the judgement." IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
