The response from the Government after the alleged coup >further demonstrates its total disregard for the protection of civil >liberties of Gambians. STGDP urges the Government to respect the >fundamental human and constitutional rights of the accused. The STGDP finds >lining up alleged coupists on TV screens as an affront to democracy and due >process under the law. All those under arrest should be presumed innocent >until proven guilty in a court of law. > >Secondly, we are condemning in the strongest terms in singling out the >private media, yet again the Independent Newspaper and the targeting of its >employees. STGDP is again urging the government to release with immediate >effect these individuals to their families and to end all the harassment >and intimidation of Gambians. The future of a stable and peaceful Gambia >starts with the government demonstrating total commitment to democracy, >rule of law and respecting the norms of a civilized society. > >STGDP > >いいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいい >To unsubscribe/subscribe or view archives of postings, go to the Gambia-L >Web interface >at: http://listserv.icors.org/archives/gambia-l.html > >To Search in the Gambia-L archives, go to: >http://listserv.icors.org/SCRIPTS/WA-ICORS.EXE?S1=gambia-l >To contact the List Management, please send an e-mail to: >[log in to unmask] >いいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいい いいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいい To unsubscribe/subscribe or view archives of postings, go to the Gambia-L Web interface at: http://listserv.icors.org/archives/gambia-l.html To Search in the Gambia-L archives, go to: http://listserv.icors.org/SCRIPTS/WA-ICORS.EXE?S1=gambia-l To contact the List Management, please send an e-mail to: [log in to unmask] いいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいい
