Not the first time. Two Syrian state-security officers had been arrested and charged in Germany for crimes against humanity, including torture, murder and sexual assault. It was the first time anyone from the Syrian regime would be tried for its crimes. One of them was sentenced by the state court in Koblenz to imprisonment for life. The nederlands and sweden have similar mechanism.
The accused is living in Germany. The same thing has happened in Sweden several times. The genocide in Ruanda and other things. Also, it seems probable that in Gambia he would express his regret, then go free and get a god job in the present administration...
What judicial basis does Germany have to try such a case that does not take place in Germany? ! Do German courts have jurisdiction over things all over the world?
The guy was a asylum seeker in Germany so he falls under german jurisdiction and the german court is also obliged to take legal action if a accusation is brought before it. Simple as that. If I didn't miss something, there was also no appeal by a gambian court to turn him over and as it came over by the description of the interviewee, it seems unlikely that he would be tried properly by a gambian court .
@@audiolatroushearetic1822 You have Western arrogance, which is also typical of long-arm jurisdiction and misuse of justice. If this judicial principle can be established, then the world is in chaos
@Tyler Hopkins There are easily applied principles on truth-and-reconciliation process. If the process seem to be reconciliation over truth, as Nana-Jo seems to say, we (the rest of the world) should not accept it. This sends the signal that it's good to be a criminal, if you are strong enough. I think it is you who are very suspect.
It's a normal procedure that when a asylum seeker in Germany is accused of warcrimes, he/she is first tried before a german court. It's not before someone files a lawsuit before Den Haag, which is normally within the framework of a bigger legal proceeding, that Germany will turn over a defendant to Den Haag.
@@harukrentz435 Me personal and many fellow Germans would be happy to do so, but unfortunately the USA never signed the Hague-aggreement and never extradite their felons. So sorry!
Perhaps I’m reading the comments with an improper perspective... Individuals will look at countries that are vulnerable to what ( a criminal ideal to some people/businesses ). That message I heard was.. Germany has found:formed a way of not allowing itself to be used as that . 🤔😅🙏🏻
Last year there was a trial aganst a guy from Syria who happened to be a former prison guard and torturer in one of Assad's prisons for political detainees. So if they get hold of one and there is a victim's claim and evidence, Germany will try them.
Germany should stay out of African affairs. What about the crimes germany committed against african people with its colonization of african states? this claim about justice for africans is misleading, condescending, and hypocritical at best
What do you mean? If a german citizen commits a crime in a african country it is likely that he will be tried and convicted there, if he got arrested there and the jurisdicial system in that contry is working. Or do you mean crimes during the german colonial era from 1884 to 1918? In that case there were several historical and diplomatic claims and assertions like the one with the genocide on the Herero and Nama which Germany finally had to recognise, but for warcrimes you can only try and convict that actual individuals who commited them or the ones who ordered them, not a country as a whole and more than 100 years later.
Though am never in support of Yayah Djammeh for his evil and destructive rule in The Gambia but I hope the Iraquis or Afghanistans too have the opportunity to one day trial the German soldiers that killed their countrymen 😏😅
Not for murder though. The sentence is 25 years with the earliest chance beeing released on parole after 15 years. However, if the custodial commission deems you psychological unstable, violent or a danger to society after that 25 years it can declare "Sicherungsverwahrung" (safe confinement) which can in fact result in lifelong imprisonment.
A German court in Koblenz already sentenced a former Syrian colonel to life in jail for crimes against humanity in an "historic" verdict that marks the end of the first global trial over state-sponsored torture in Syria.
And what country is not responsible for the mass murder of millions? every country has blood on their hands by killing natives by the millions by their ancestors.
war crimes have also been commited in other countries (Syria, Eritrea,...). But not all people from every country come to Germany as asylum seekers, that appears to be the difference.
We must stop war crimes, and war criminals must be put in prison.
you cant lock up whole countries. dont be ridiculous

The courts are controlled by those who did the killings.

Good job...
This trial may sound good and moral. But it can set a bad precedence.
@Null Pointer It is the trying of any crime outside of the jurisdiction that is a precedence.
@Null Pointer As I recalled, Pinochet was never tried for his crimes by the United Kingdom. So what is your point with Pinochet?
