Swiss prosecutors accused Sonko of supporting, participating in and failing to stop attacks against regime opponents in Gambia, a West African country that juts through neighboring Senegal. The alleged crimes included killings, torture, rape and numerous unlawful detentions.Gambia lawmakers refer a repeal of the ban on female genital cutting to more committee discussions
