Hi List Members, The mail below is from Momodou 'Dumo' Saho's wife. As you can see, Dumo and others are being framed here. I think we should intensify our campaign to sensitise the international community about their plight I have in mind the kind of campaign that we carried out in the aftermath of the student massacres. Maybe Brother Buharry can help pen a petition that can be used as a standard for our various international communities? We must do all we can to stop Jammeh from murdering yet another group of young productive Gambians! Regards, Kabir. ----- Original Message ----- From: Bokaloho <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Friday, July 14, 2000 5:26 PM Subject: Dumo > Friends, > Today we went to court.
