"I'm almost tempted to say let Jammeh and his photo go to hell!" ( lol)
 
Not until after we settle with Jammeh how putting his pic in the sky makes a sedition case. 
 
From Fatou Camara's revelations, people are even tried and convicted on national TV nowadays. We certainly followed some few cases here and there.
 
It is a sad state of affairs. I too admire Mass for standing upto his words. It is courage. It is belief. It is steadfastness. It is being true to conscience. 
 
News is that he is currently out on bail for D100,000 (Courtesty of Jollof News), http://www.jollofnews.com/news/24-news/4008-gambian-detained-for-badmouthing-jammeh-freed
 
 Best,

Certainly Nyang. Admitting to saying the words is not equivalent to pleading guilty of any crime because there is nothing criminal in the utterance. Mr. Kah is to be applauded for owning up to his words. I'm almost tempted to say let Jammeh and his photo go to hell!

Yero, here is another report on the same story, not sure if admitting sying the words is equivalent to admitting quilt. Lets see how this trial plays out.  IN MASS KAH SEDITION CASE  PROSECUTION ASK FOR ADJOURNMENTPublished on Thursday, 28 November 2013 18:09 | Written by Kebba Jeffang By Kebba Jeffang 
A Foroyaa messenger, Mr Mass Kah, on Wednesday 27 November, 2013 appeared before the Kanifing Magistrates’ Court charged with sedition before Presiding Magistrate Isatou Janneh. He appeared in court after being held in detention for 13 days at the NIA and various police stations. When the case was called, the prosecutor identified herself as Sgt. 335 Nying. The magistrate read out the charge (including the particulars of offence) in the crowded courtroom. 
The statement of offence is seditious act contrary to section 51(1)(a) of the Criminal Code Cap 10:01 Vol 3 Revised Laws of The Gambia 2009. She went further and read the particulars of offence in English which was translated into Wollof by the interpreter thus: Mass Kah on or about the 14th November, 2013 between the hours of 16hrs and 17hrs at Latrikunda German within Kanifing Municipality and diverse areas, with willful intention
 uttered a statement against the photo of the President of Gambia which one Lamin Camara was pasting on his vehicle opposite a tailoring workshop, asking: ‘why not you paste the said photo of the President on the sky?’ and thereby committed an offence. 

When the magistrate put to Mass Kah whether he said what is on the charge sheet read by the prosecution, he replied in the affirmative and said “yes I said so.”
 As the magistrate was about to make a comment, the prosecutor stood up and said the case file needs to be reviewed and therefore expressed wish to apply for an adjournment. 

The magistrate at this stage adjourned the matter till today 28 November, 2013.
