Mr. Jahateh, I agree with you. This is a time we should all stand up for Femi. This is neither about the UDP or about the opposition. It is about the liberty and independence of our citizens. This is about our democracy, freedom of speech and assembly, and the future of our country. It is yet again a plot to distract Gambians from the larger picture.

 

We should all come together and condemn yet again such cowardly acts of injustice. "Injustice anywhere is injustice everywhere"  It was Chief Manneh and Kanibaa yesterday, today is Femi and tomorrow God knows who?

 

So my brotherly appeal to all is not to allow the oppressor to continue to divide us, sit back and laugh out loud.  It is action that is required now and let us not underestimate any action taken by citizens in the Diaspora. A petition or condemnation may not get him out but it will put his plight on the spotlight.

 

Let the folks come up with a petition, ask all decent Gambians to sign it and it can be circulated to international organizations and governments to officially inform them of the situation and remind them that we have been here before. Pressure makes all the difference and it has worked before.

 

Mr. Peters should not spend a day in jail much more a year for simply organizing a political rally. This is really a shame...

Please ,Please . What we need now is advices, suggestions and solutions on how to free Femi Peters as we did for the journalist last year . The problem in our country cannot be blame to one person or leaders of the oppositon parties  or security heads or one group..thats not fair.  We all as Gambians have a role to play.
