If the authorities in The Gambia have resorted to the heinous technique of 'disapperance' in order to silence their opponents then, as Mr. Jaiteh said, it is becoming scary. I just cannot understand why the APRC (AFPRC?) government is tight-lipped over the 'disapperance' of Shyngle Nyassi. From reports, all requests for a habaes corpus have butted against a wall of silence, indeed conspiracy. This wall of silence was erected since the abortive November 11 coup d'état. The then AFPRC government never explained what happened to Capt. or Sgt. Seye on the morning of that fateful day. To this day, the government owes Gambian people a report on the death of Koro Ceesay. It owes us a similar explanation of the circumstances surrounding the death of Capt.Sadibou Hydara. Extrajudicial executions, abductions, arbitrary arrests and detention, torture, 'disappearance'...at the very doorstep of Africa's regional human rights organization: the African Commission on Human and Peoples' Rights, and this with sheer impunity? Political parties, social and pressure groups need to re-examine their relation with the government in the face of continued human rights violations in The Gambia. This is just going to far and unbearably too long. **************************************** "We move about the chessboard of the world then drop into the casket of the void" ___Omar Khayyam _______________________________________________________________ Get Free Email and Do More On The Web.
