Former Gambian soldier convicted in U.S. for torture committed under ex-dictator Jammeh.
A former Gambian soldier, Michael Sang Correa, has been convicted in the US for torturing five men suspected of involvement in a 2006 coup against Gambia's longtime dictator, Yahya Jammeh.
Correa was found guilty of conspiracy to commit torture and the act of torture itself while serving in a military unit known as the "Junglers."
The victims testified about being subjected to methods such as electrocution and hanging upside down.
This marks the first conviction of a non-US citizen for torture in a US federal court, under a rarely used law allowing prosecution for crimes committed abroad.
