NEWS FOLLOWING THE DETENTION OF NADD SEATTLE LOCAL COORDINATOR, STGDP REACTS BY AN EDITOR -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- October 23, 2005 Save The Gambia Democracy Project, is sympathising with the detained NADD local coordinator in Seattle, Bakary Jarju, who is currently held by the US Immigration officials. Jarju, who is held at the Tacoma detention centre was said to have been on the US Immigration deportation list. His asylum case was denied by the Immigration court, which ordered for his removal from this country. His detention was greeted with shock by Gambians in Seattle and his colleague within the Save The Gambia Democracy Project. In a terse and brief statement, STGDP Executive Members said Jarju's current predicament "are the kind of issues Africans and immigrants in general face abroad." Below is the unedited press release sent to The ALLGAMBIAN online Newspaper by the STGDP Executive. Please read on...... Bakary Jarju, based in Seattle, is an active member of Save The Gambia Democracy Project. His recent problems with the immigration is purely a personal one and has nothing to do with STGDP as an organization. However we empathize with him since the majority of STGDP members are immigrants. These are the kind of issues Africans and immigrants in general face abroad. We join his family in prayers to resolve his problems. STGDP EXECUTIVE Go To Top -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Copyright © 2004 AllGambian.Net.
