Suriname News

Suriname's former President Desi Bouterse (C) and his wife Ingrid Bouterse-Waldring attend a rally at his NDP party centre, where he asked supporters to calmly wait for the High Court of Justice verdict in his appeals case against the Court Martial, in Paramaribo, on Dec. 16, 2023. The prosecution repeated the demand for 20-years jail time for his involvement in the murder of 15 people when he ruled in 1982 during his military government.
