No document is more sacred and important to the Gambian people than the CONSTITUTION and yet it is the most disregarded, if the government is seriuos about protecting the rights of the people the rule of law must prevail. We cannot have a government that allows journalists, students politicians and religious leaders to be arrested and tortured on a regular bassis and purport to be in defence of human rights, this is hypocrisy of the highest magnitude. We hope the government will exercise the rule of law, we do not want presidential directives that make law this is a complete fallacy. >From: Jabou Joh <[log in to unmask]> >Reply-To: The Gambia and related-issues mailing list ><[log in to unmask]> >To: [log in to unmask] >Subject: Re: ANOTHER 1ST FOR THE GAMBIA >Date: Mon, 6 Oct 2003 09:00:14 EDT > >In a message dated 10/6/03 7:18:39 AM Central Daylight Time, >[log in to unmask] writes: > > >Tombong > > > > > > How about other protocols which the Gambia Government > > under APRC have violated??? > > > > Sanusi > >Good question Sanusi.
