A Gambian truth and reconciliation commission report says ex-president Yahya Jammeh was responsible for a spree of killings, torture and rapes during his 22-year rule
Jammeh was forced into exile in Equatorial Guinea in 2017 after President Adama Barrow defeated him at the polls.
The independent Truth, Reconciliation and Reparations Commission was set up when Jammeh left Gambia for exile in Equatorial Guinea after refusing to accept defeat in a 2016 election. These included the killing of journalist Deyda Hydara in 2004, seven civilians in 2000 and 59 West African migrants in 2005. He was also responsible for the rape or sexual abuse of three women, according to the commission.
