The Gambia Bar Association has said that it is
willing to serve as prosecutors in the case against the firemen alleged to
be involved in the death of a school boy from Brikama, Ebrima Barry. The
Bar expressed its willingness in a press release it issued on Monday in
reaction to recent students riots, and in response to a request by the Attorney
General for the appointment of a public prosecutor from the Bar. The
association said it is concerned about the events, and expressed regret at the
loss of life and property. It states that in the investigations of
the events the rule of law, and all necessary constitutional provisions
should be respected, and stressed that justice must not only be done, but must
be seen to be done. The Bar association said its doors are open to anyone who
wishes to seek redress for wrongs committed to the individual
