Michael Sang Correa
Michael Sang Correa is a former alleged member of the Junglers, a death squad that operated under the regime of former Gambian President Yahya Jammeh. He stands trial in the U.S. for multiple counts of torture committed abroad, making him the first non-U.S. citizen to be tried in a U.S. federal court for such offenses. His case has garnered significant attention from human rights advocates and legal experts, as it represents a crucial test of the U.S. extraterritorial Torture Act, which allows for the prosecution of individuals for acts of torture committed outside the United States.
