If the authorities in The Gambia have resorted to the heinous
technique of 'disapperance' in order to silence their
opponents then, as Mr. Jaiteh said, it is becoming scary.

I just cannot understand why the APRC (AFPRC?) government is
tight-lipped over the 'disapperance' of Shyngle Nyassi. From
reports, all requests for a habaes corpus have butted against
a wall of silence, indeed conspiracy. This wall of silence was erected since
the abortive November 11 coup d'état.  The then
AFPRC government never explained what happened to Capt. or
Sgt. Seye on the morning of that fateful day.  To this day,
the government owes Gambian people a report on the death of
Koro Ceesay.  It owes us a similar explanation of the
circumstances surrounding the death of Capt.Sadibou Hydara.

Extrajudicial executions, abductions, arbitrary arrests and detention,
torture, 'disappearance'...at the very doorstep
of Africa's regional human rights organization: the African
Commission on Human and Peoples' Rights, and this with sheer
impunity?

Political parties, social and pressure groups need to
re-examine their relation with the government in the face
of continued human rights violations in The Gambia.

This is just going to far and unbearably too long.
