Journalists detained in Gambia The authorities in Gambia are reported to have detained three journalists working for a new newspaper, the Independent. A reporter on the paper N.B. Daffeh was arrested on Friday and two senior editors Baba Galleh Jallow and Yorro Jalleh were taken into custody on Sunday. No reason has been given for their detention. The Independent was launched a month ago, but was forced to close down on the grounds that it had failed to pay a business registration fee, an allegation which it denies.
