Last minute protest for arrested Gambian journalists
Please join us tomorrow for a snap protest against the Gambian government, which is bringing sedition charges against seven Gambian journalists and trade unionists who have offended the President. The government has now brought their trial forward to tomorrow in an attempt to avoid publicity. But in vain! Come along and show that you are not amused.
Where: Gambian High Commission, 57 Kensington Ct, London, W8 5DG (Nearest tube High Street Kensington)
When: 12.45 - 1.30pm, Friday 3 July
More information on the case and an online action: http://www.amnesty.org.uk/actions_details.asp?ActionID=616
Hope you can make it!
