What is torture?| TRIAL International
Between 1994 and 2016, Yahya Jammeh ruled the small West African nation of The Gambia with an iron fist. His authoritarian regime systematically targeted political opponents – subjecting them to torture, extrajudicial execution, arbitrary detention and enforced disappearance. Since 2017, the country has been engaged in a transitional justice process that aims to turn the page on this somber past.| TRIAL International
