Enquêtes sur les crimes sous l’ère Jammeh en Gambie : Adama Barrow désigne un procureur britannique
In The Gambia, the government has appointed a British citizen as special prosecutor to investigate crimes committed during Yahya Jammeh's rule. This was announced by Gambian government spokesman Ebrima Sankareh on West Coast Radio's Coffee Time program, without revealing the prosecutor's identity.
"This tribunal will try crimes committed between July 22, 1994, and the end of the tyrant's presidency."
According to "The Standard," which reported the information, the special prosecutor in question will lead the investigations and coordinate the prosecutions before the Special Criminal Court created to try "crimes committed between July 22, 1994, and the end of the tyrant's presidency."
Regarding the financing of this Special Tribunal, Mr. Sankareh stated that "The Gambia has been able to secure the necessary funds to cover expenses for one year." He continued, "Efforts are underway to explore other avenues and see what can be done."
The politician also points out that complex legal cases like these are tedious and time-consuming.
"We cannot reasonably expect the tribunal to begin sitting in 2026 and finish before December. We must therefore prepare for a long process to obtain justice," he said.
