It was not the understanding that every List member
should send the same mail to a recipient. This could glut their mailbox and that
is not the intention of the list. I thought the form was used only for people to
add their names to it, and only one copy will to an organisation.
This method could be seen as an abuse of the
internet by some organisation as this lady's letter shows. So, please let us
stop sending the petitions until a less offensive way is found.

Subject: "Killing of Gambian Student
protest" Spam/Mailbomb
Freedom2surf -- someone has put the webmaster address for the
Human Rights Web, which I maintain, on a mailing list for a
protest. This has resulted in my getting eighteen identical
email
messages regarding this case, under different names and
ostensibly from
different email addresses. :( The emails are
attached, and if you
look at the headers, each one of them was
sent from your site, not from the
sites in the email addresses
in the From: lines.
I suspect this was
done through a CGI script on a web page,
since several emails have no name
in the From: line whatsoever.
These emails were sent to most of the
valid addresses at
Amnesty International, a number of other addresses
belonging
to other human rights organizations, and contact addresses
at
newspapers around the world. All eighteen =IDENTICAL=
messages
were sent to all of these addresses.
I am one person, not in any
way affiliated with the Gambian
government, and maintain one Web site
about human rights. One
email is more than sufficient to make me
aware of this situation.
What this protest has done is spam my
mailbox. That wasn't
intelligent -- the protesters have probably
done their cause
considerable harm, although (from what I know about
Gambia)
their cause may be quite worthwhile.
Please determine what
happened here and take the necessary
steps to stop it. Thank
you!
Ebone -- I'm ccing this to you for your information, although
I
suspect this was a badly planned and executed protest by some
customers of
freedom2surf rather than anything intentionally
abusive.
Those of
you who participated in this protest -- it isn't wise
to use a web form
protest that automatically forwards a form
letter to email addresses, at
least not if you don't intend to
harrass people. While I can see
doing this to officials in
Gambia, it is NOT in your best interests or the
best interests
of your cause to abuse the Internet in this
fashion.
Thank you!

Comments: Dear Sir/Madam,
I am writing to bring to your
notice the tragic events that took place in The Republic of the Gambia on
April 10th. and 11th., when security forces opened fire on unarmed student and
civilian demonstrators killing 14 people, including Omar Barrow, a Red Cross
volunteer and journalist. These deaths occurred as students went on a
demonstration to protest against the torture and murder of a fellow student
Ebrima Barry by Fire Service personnel, and the rape of a 13-year old school
girl, Binta Manneh, by a police officer. Hundreds of students have since
been arrested and distraught parents do not know whether their children are
among the dead or imprisoned.
I am writing as a concerned
citizen, to respectfully request you and your organization to keep pressure on
the Government of The Gambia to immediately:
Instruct the Gambian
security forces to halt all excessive use of force against
civilians;
Release all the students currently under detention;
Launch an independent enquiry into the shootings and
circumstances surrounding it;
Ensure that all security personnel found
to have used excessive force resulting in human rights abuses will be fully
dealt with according to the provisions of the law;
Instruct the Gambian
security forces to exercise maximum restraint towards students protesting the
deaths of their friends and schoolmates;
Ensure that those responsible
for the murder of Ebrima Barry and the rape of Binta Manneh are prosecuted to
the maximum extent of the law without undue delay;
Ensure that all
security personnel and the Gambian government abide by the constitution of The
Republic of The Gambia and the international human rights standards enumerated
in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which was adopted without
opposition by the United Nations General Assembly on December 10th., 1948.
While awaiting your kind co-operation and support in this most
urgent of matters, I take this opportunity to sincerely thank you and your
organization for your concern and continued support and promotion of human
rights around the world.
Sincerely,
Alieu
NJie

Comments: TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN
Dear
Sir/Madam,
I am writing to bring to your notice the tragic events that
took place in The Republic of the Gambia on April 10th. and 11th., when
security forces opened fire on unarmed student and civilian demonstrators
killing 14 people, including Omar Barrow, a Red Cross volunteer and
journalist. These deaths occurred as students went on a demonstration to
protest against the torture and murder of a fellow student Ebrima Barry by
Fire Service personnel, and the rape of a 13-year old school girl, Binta
Manneh, by a police officer. Hundreds of students have since been arrested and
distraught parents do not know whether their children are among the dead or
imprisoned.
I am writing as a concerned citizen, to respectfully
request you and your organization to keep pressure on the Government of The
Gambia to immediately:
Instruct the Gambian security forces to halt
all excessive use of force against civilians;
Release all the
students currently under detention;
Release the names of those
killed and release their bodies to their relatives for proper burial;
Launch an independent enquiry into the shootings and circumstances
surrounding it;
Ensure that all security personnel found to have used
excessive force resulting in human rights abuses will be fully dealt with
according to the provisions of the law;
Instruct the Gambian security
forces to exercise maximum restraint towards students protesting the deaths of
their friends and schoolmates;
Ensure that those responsible for the
murder of Ebrima Barry and the rape of Binta Manneh are prosecuted to the
maximum extent of the law without undue delay;
Ensure that all security
personnel and the Gambian government abide by the constitution of The Republic
of The Gambia and the international human rights standards enumerated in the
Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which was adopted without opposition by
the United Nations General Assembly on December 10th., 1948.
While
awaiting your kind co-operation and support in this most urgent of matters, I
take this opportunity to sincerely thank you and your organization for your
concern and continued support and promotion of human rights around the world.
Sincerely,
Momodou
Camara

Dear Sir/Madam,
I am writing to bring to your notice the tragic
events that took place in The Republic of the Gambia on April 10th. and 11th.,
when security forces opened fire on unarmed student and civilian demonstrators
killing 14 people, including Omar Barrow, a Red Cross volunteer and
journalist. These deaths occurred as students went on a demonstration to
protest against the torture and murder of a fellow student Ebrima Barry by
Fire Service personnel, and the rape of a 13-year old school girl, Binta
Manneh, by a police officer. Hundreds of students have since been arrested and
distraught parents do not know whether their children are among the dead or
imprisoned.
I am writing as a concerned citizen, to respectfully
request you and your organization to keep pressure on the Government of The
Gambia to immediately:
Instruct the Gambian security forces to halt
all excessive use of force against civilians;
Release all the
students currently under detention;
Release the names of those
killed and release their bodies to their relatives for proper burial;
Launch an independent enquiry into the shootings and circumstances
surrounding it;
Ensure that all security personnel found to have used
excessive force resulting in human rights abuses will be fully dealt with
according to the provisions of the law;
Instruct the Gambian security
forces to exercise maximum restraint towards students protesting the deaths of
their friends and schoolmates;
Ensure that those responsible for the
murder of Ebrima Barry and the rape of Binta Manneh are prosecuted to the
maximum extent of the law without undue delay;
Ensure that all security
personnel and the Gambian government abide by the constitution of The Republic
of The Gambia and the international human rights standards enumerated in the
Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which was adopted without opposition by
the United Nations General Assembly on December 10th., 1948.
While
awaiting your kind co-operation and support in this most urgent of matters, I
take this opportunity to sincerely thank you and your organization for your
concern and continued support and promotion of human rights around the world.
Sincerely,

Dear
Sir/Madam,
I am writing to bring to your notice the tragic events that
took place in The Republic of the Gambia on April 10th. and 11th., when
security forces opened fire on unarmed student and civilian demonstrators
killing 14 people, including Omar Barrow, a Red Cross volunteer and
journalist. These deaths occurred as students went on a demonstration to
protest against the torture and murder of a fellow student Ebrima Barry by
Fire Service personnel, and the rape of a 13-year old school girl, Binta
Manneh, by a police officer. Hundreds of students have since been arrested and
distraught parents do not know whether their children are among the dead or
imprisoned.
I am writing as a concerned citizen, to respectfully
request you and your organization to keep pressure on the Government of The
Gambia to immediately:
Instruct the Gambian security forces to halt
all excessive use of force against civilians;
Release all the
students currently under detention;
Release the names of those
killed and release their bodies to their relatives for proper burial;
Launch an independent enquiry into the shootings and circumstances
surrounding it;
Ensure that all security personnel found to have used
excessive force resulting in human rights abuses will be fully dealt with
according to the provisions of the law;
Instruct the Gambian security
forces to exercise maximum restraint towards students protesting the deaths of
their friends and schoolmates;
Ensure that those responsible for the
murder of Ebrima Barry and the rape of Binta Manneh are prosecuted to the
maximum extent of the law without undue delay;
Ensure that all security
personnel and the Gambian government abide by the constitution of The Republic
of The Gambia and the international human rights standards enumerated in the
Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which was adopted without opposition by
the United Nations General Assembly on December 10th., 1948.
While
awaiting your kind co-operation and support in this most urgent of matters, I
take this opportunity to sincerely thank you and your organization for your
concern and continued support and promotion of human rights around the world.
Sincerely,
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
