Senegal has joined the international community in condemning Gambia’s execution of nine death row inmates, two of whom were Senegalese. Senegalese President Macky Sall summoned the Gambian ambassador Wednesday for a dressing down over the executions. Sall reportedly demanded an explanation as to why Senegal was not notified of the impending execution of its citizens. In Dakar, human rights activists rallied outside the Gambian High Commission to call on authorities to suspend all capital punishment. The Gambian government announced Monday that nine death row prisoners had been killed by firing squad the night before.
