All-

The following excerpt is from the Australian Broadcasting Corporation's
site. Mentioned therein is the meeting of Foreign Minister Hon. A.R. Downer
and Commonwealth Ministers in London later this month.
Folks, here's another chance for us to exert more pressure on Jammeh to
release his grip. I urge the MRDG-UK to take up the task to prepare a
situational report for Mr. Downey outlining all the atrocities and
brutalities levied on Gambians since '94. Alternatively, we can resort to
our good ol' petition tactic once again. Now that brother Buharry and
Sidibeh are back!

Here's Mr. Downer's info:
