Journalist freed after being held illegally for 139 days by intelligence agents

Malick Mboob, a former reporter with the 
pro-government Daily Observer and now the Royal 
Victoria Teaching Hospital's communication 
officer, was finally released yesterday after 
being held illegally for 139 days in the cells of 
the National Intelligence Agency in Banjul.

He was arrested on 26 May on suspicion of writing 
articles for the Freedom Newspaper, a US-based 
news website that is very critical of the Gambian 
government. Someone hacked into the site on the 
night of 22 May, obtaining lists of subscribers 
and contributors.

Malick Mboob enfin relâché, après 139 jours de détention illégale

Malick Mboob, ancien journaliste du quotidien 
progouvernemental Daily Observer, et chargé de 
communication du Royal Victoria Teaching 
Hospital, a été libéré le 11 octobre 2006 des 
geôles de la National Intelligence Agency (NIA).

Soupçonné d'avoir rédigé des articles pour le 
journal en ligne Freedom Newspaper, basé aux 
Etats-Unis et très critique des autorités 
gambiennes, il avait été interpellé par les 
forces de sécurité le 26 mai. Ce journal avait 
été piraté dans la nuit du 22 au 23 mai, révélant 
la liste des abonnés et des contributeurs.
