The trial of Michael Sang Correa, accused of torture under Yahya Jammeh’s regime, concludes this week in the U.S.

Held at a district court in Denver, the trial began on April 7 with nine witnesses testifying against the alleged ex-death squad member.

Correa, once part of Jammeh’s notorious “junglers,” is charged with six counts, including torture and conspiracy.

Yusuf Taylor of Askanwi highlights the case’s historic nature—trying a non-U.S. citizen for human rights abuses under American law.
