Together, we can move mountains

Dear friends,

Two weeks ago, TRIAL secured a significant achievement: the arrest of Gambia’s ex-Minister of Interior, Ousman Sonko, on suspicions of torture. Following a denunciation by TRIAL, the suspect was arrested in Switzerland and now faces an inquiry for crimes against humanity. 

Following the last US elections, this episode is a reminder of our own capacity to make a change. Civil society has a fundamental role to play, because every one of us can contribute to protecting the rights of all.

Injustice and impunity are not a fatality. Together, standing firm in our beliefs, let us face the hard times ahead with courage!
