Share

Gambia’s high court on Tuesday sentenced a soldier to 12 years in prison for leading a foiled coup last year against President Adama Barrow’s administration.

Eight soldiers were charged with treason and conspiracy in January for their role in a Dec. 21, 2022 coup attempt in the West African nation of 2.5 million people almost entirely surrounded by Senegal.

Two civilians and a police officer were also charged with concealment of treason and conspiracy to commit a felony.
