Dr. Ceesay addressed public concern after a migrant boat capsized off the Gambian coast, triggering a large-scale rescue operation and resulting in multiple deaths.
He was sentenced to 20 years in prison, with nearly seven years already credited for time spent in pretrial detention since his arrest in Switzerland in January 2017.
According to officially verified information, those rescued include 54 Gambians, 42 Senegalese, nine Conakry Guineans, three Malians, two Ivoirians, one Burkinabe, and one Sierra Leonean.
Relatives say the pool was unmanned at the time, with no staff or lifeguards present to offer immediate assistance. With no help available, Mr Clarke drowned before he could be rescued.
