In the latter part of 2006, he was appointed minister of interior, a position he held from November 2006 to February 2012 and from May 2012 to September 2016.<\/p>\n<p>Arrested in January 2017, the Swiss Attorney General\u2019s office, along with 10 plaintiffs from Gambia, is accusing Sonko of torture, murder, false imprisonment, rape, and deprivation of liberty, allegedly perpetrated against Gambians during the 22-year rule of Gambia\u2019s former dictator Jammeh.<\/p>\n<p>The Swiss prosecutors are trying to prove Sonko\u2019s responsibility for torture through his participation in various investigation panels as inspector general or for ordering or abetting abuse as interior minister.<\/p>\n<p>Previous testimonies before the court alleged that Sonko served on the investigation panel following the 2006 foiled coup, which oversaw the torture and interrogation of witnesses by Junglers\u2013a paramilitary hit squad operating under the orders of Jammeh.<\/p>\n<p>Today, the trial\u2019s fifth witness, Lamin Sanneh, a prison officer, told the 3-member panel of judges that in 2012 torture was widespread in Mile 2, the country\u2019s central prison Jammeh popularly called his \u201cfive-star\u201d hotel. \u201cMost of the time, the Junglers come there and take inmates to the [National Intelligence Agency], and when they return them, you know that these inmates have gone through something,\u201d said Sanneh. \u201cSome inmates are tortured while they are being taken away. I experienced that also. It is very terrible,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Ousman\u2019s knowledge of abuse<\/p>\n<p>Sanneh was the personal bodyguard of David Colley, the longtime former director of Gambia\u2019s Prison Services, the institution overseeing Gambian prisons, including Mile 2.<\/p>\n<p>Sonko denied wrongdoing and argued that he neither exercised administrative nor operational oversight over the prisons. Sonko said that the Security Wing of Mile 2\u2014a barely 2-meter square cell with a face-size window tucked near the roof, was often under the control of the military.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDavid Colley has operational and administrative responsibility over prison services and all the prisons in the Gambia. As such, he does not need instructions from me,\u201d said Sonko in the Monday hearings before the Swiss court. However, Sanneh testified that Sonko and Colley enjoyed a close working relationship and that he had full knowledge of events in the prisons, including Mile 2.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhatever happens at the prison, the director [David Colley] will feed [Sonko],\u201d with information, said Sanneh.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI know the Director will not do anything without the notice of the Minister. Anything going on in the prison, he has to inform him.\u201d Abdou Jammeh, another prison officer who was arrested in 2016 and held without charge for 9 months, shared a similar testimony.<\/p>\n<p>Murder of Baba Jobe<\/p>\n<p>Among the series of allegations Sonko is battling in Switzerland is his alleged involvement in the 2012 murder of Baba Jobe, the former majority leader of Jammeh\u2019s APRC\u2019s party.<\/p>\n<p>Jobe was sentenced to a nine\u2013year jail term in 2004 on charges of economic crimes. Barely a year before he was due to be released, Junglers allegedly walked into his room and suffocated him with a pillow, Omar Jallow, a Jungler, testified before the Truth Commission in 2019.<\/p>\n<p>That day, Sanneh said he was asked to guard Colley, who was in the hospital then. Colley informed him that military officials were coming for Jobe, and when they came, he should grant them access, he told the court.<\/p>\n<p>In 2018, David Colley told Swiss prosecutors that he got a call from Sonko to grant Jungler Nuha Badgie access to Jobe. Sonko contested Colley\u2019s claim and denied any involvement in the planning and execution of Jobe.<\/p>\n<p>The trial is expected to last until January 30 but the verdict will likely be announced in March. If found guilty, Sonko could face up to 20 years in prison.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/gambia\">Gambia<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Gambia.
