The Sintet Mass Arrest

Earlier on this morning, February 9th 2009, Yaya Jammeh ordered
paramilitary men to surround Sintet for witch craft operations. During
the process, they arrested all the women, and men, estimated to be over
1000 people and they are currently held in Kanillai, Yaya Jammeh's
acclaimed birth place . The only few spared are some of the youths.
Many has gone for hiding for fear of reprisal. The situation is very
tense.  According to villagers who expressed dismay over the mass
arrest, they were only performing ablutions early dawn to do their
morning prayers, apparently the surrounding uniformed men closed the
village allowing no entry or exit. In other villages of the Fonis, a
ransom of D2000.00 Gambian dalasis will free one person.
