The point I was trying to make to you is not what the journalists do right or wrong. It is whether the tteatment metted out to them warrants the "crime". No one is perfect and that includes the Gambian news papers. But we do have "courts" to deal with whatever grievances the government may have. Torturing people in the hopes of silencing them is not the solution. I hope you get the point this time.
