Background
On 22 July, people from across the world are joining together to take action to call on the Gambian government to uphold its people's basic rights and freedoms.
The day of action coincides with the national Gambian holiday called "Freedom Day", celebrated since President Yahya Jammeh came into power in 1994. However, there is no freedom in the Gambia. Instead, it has a massive record of human rights violations.
Human rights violations are perpetrated by the National Intelligence Agency (NIA), army and police against real and perceived opponents of the government on a routine basis. Once people are in custody of the government, they are susceptible to a whole range of human rights violations including unlawful detention, torture, unfair trials, enforced disappearance and extrajudicial killings.
