Abstract:
On April 15, 2025, a former soldier within Gambia’s military force was convicted by a U.S. jury of five counts of torture and one count of conspiracy to commit torture in Denver, Colorado. Following a five-day trial, this historic judgment marks the first time a non-U.S. citizen has ever been found criminally responsible for torture committed internationally by a jury in the United States.
