conspiracy to commit torture </h1> <div class="sm-date orange">12.09.2024 ( <strong>Last modified:</strong> 13.09.2024 ) </div> <div class="clr20"></div> <div class="latest-body"> <p>(Banjul, Denver, Geneva, 12 September 2024) – The trial against Michael Sang Correa for torture allegedly committed in The Gambia, originally scheduled for 16 September 2024, has been postponed.</p> <p>Last week, Correa’s defense lawyers filed two motions with the court. The motions explained that the defense wanted to present testimony from two witnesses to support the argument that Correa was under duress when he committed the acts of torture alleged in the indictment. According to the motions, the witnesses refused to travel to the United States unless the United States government provided them with immunity from prosecution. The United States declined to offer that immunity.</p> <p>The <a href="https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.cod.198052/gov.uscourts.cod.198052.162.0.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">first motion</a> asked the court to dismiss the case against Correa, arguing that the government was not facilitating the attendance of these witnesses. On 10 September, <a href="https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.cod.198052/gov.uscourts.cod.198052.174.0.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the court denied the motion to dismiss the charges</a> against him. The <a href="https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.cod.198052/gov.uscourts.cod.198052.164.0.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">second motion</a> asked the court to delay the trial to allow Correa’s attorneys to travel to The Gambia to record sworn testimony from the two witnesses.</p> <p>On 11 September, the judge granted the second motion. She ruled that ensuring Correa the right to present witnesses for his defense was crucial to protecting his due process rights. Due process rights are guaranteed under international law and the United States Constitution: they provide reasonable opportunity for defendants such as Correa to defend themselves against criminal charges, allow for thorough examination of the facts, and contribute to a fair and just legal process.</p> <p>The trial will be rescheduled to a date in 2025.</p> <p>For media enquiries:<br /> Rebecca-Paris Senior, The Center for Justice and Accountability, in Geneva (English, French, Italian): rpsenior@cja.org</p> </div> </div> <div class="col-md-3 right-sidebar "> <div class="downloads"> <div class="text-uppercase text-xs-right white"> <span class="tag">PDF</span> </div> <div class="title"> PR by CJA, AVLO & TRIAL International on postponement of Correa trial </div> <div class="download-file"> <a onclick="ga('send', 'event', 'File', 'download', 'PR by CJA, AVLO & TRIAL International on postponement of Correa trial');" href="https://trialinternational.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/20240912_PR_CJA-AVLO-TRIAL_Correa-trial-postponed.pdf" target="_blank"> <i class="fa fa-4x fa-file-pdf-o"></i> </a> </div> </div> <div class="fixed-content"> <div class="subscribe"> <div class="title orange">Sign up to our newsletter </div> <form target="_blank" class="sidebar-subscribe-form form-inline" method="get" action="/newsletter"> <input type="email" name="subscribe_email" placeholder="Email" class="form-control"> <button type="submit" class="btn text-uppercase">Submit</button> </form> </div> <div class="donate"> <a class="donate-button" target="_blank" title="Donate_Lien" href="https://trialinternational.org/donate/support-us/"> Donate </a> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="latest-carousel-section"> <h2 class="text-xs-center text-uppercase"> <span class="title-wrap orange">Related Content</span> </h2> <div id="latest-carousel" class="carousel slide" data-ride="carousel"> <div class="carousel-inner" role="listbox"> <div class="carousel-item active"> <div class="container container-1200"> <div class="col-md-6 col-lg-3 slider-item"> <div class="text-uppercase text-xs-right"> <a class="tag" href="https://trialinternational.org/latest/news-releases/">News releases</a> </div> <div class="title"> <h3><a href="https://trialinternational.org/latest-post/gambia-jungler-trial-torture-denver-colorado-2024/">Alleged Gambian death squad member to stand trial for torture and conspiracy to commit ...</a> </h3> <small>26.08.2024</small> </div> <div class="wrapper"> <div class="country"> <img width="20" src="https://trialinternational.org/wp-content/themes/tri/assets/images/icons/globe.svg" alt="Globe" /> <a href="https://trialinternational.org/countries-post/united-states/">United States</a> </div> <div class="summary"> Denver (United States) and Banjul (The Gambia), 26 August 2024 – Michael Sang Correa, an alleged member of a Gambian dea... <a href="https://trialinternational.org/latest-post/gambia-jungler-trial-torture-denver-colorado-2024/"><i class="fa fa-arrow-right"></i></a> </div> <a href="https://trialinternational.org/latest-post/gambia-jungler-trial-torture-denver-colorado-2024/"><img src="https://trialinternational.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/ROC_slider_1-1024x415.png" alt="Featured Image" class="img-fluid" /></a> </div> </div> <div class="col-md-6 col-lg-3 slider-item"> <div class="text-uppercase text-xs-right"> <a class="tag" href="https://trialinternational.org/latest/news/">News</a> </div> <div class="title"> <h3><a href="https://trialinternational.org/latest-post/alleged-gambian-death-squad-member-to-stand-trial-in-the-u-s-for-torture/">Alleged Gambian death squad member to stand trial in the U.S. for torture</a> </h3> <small>06.08.2024</small> </div> <div class="wrapper"> <div class="country"> <img width="20" src="https://trialinternational.org/wp-content/themes/tri/assets/images/icons/globe.svg" alt="Globe" /> <a href="https://trialinternational.org/countries-post/gambia/">The Gambia</a> </div> <div class="summary"> Frequently asked questions and answers   1.
