This is the more reason why this dictator should go; no one is immune to his
murderous acts. If the AFPRC militants think that they are immune then they
have a lot of learning to do from history.
The Struggle Continues!!!

>>Sources closed to the NIA (National Intelligence Agency) have revealed to
>>the Gambia Journal that the former National Assembly Member for the Wuli
>>East
>>constituency, Mrs. Duta Kamaso has died in detention. The death, if
>>confirmed,
>>would be one of the most tragic events in The Gambia's recent political
>>history.
>>Mrs. Kamaso was picked up in April, earlier this year, while returning
>>home
>>from Senegal, where she was said to have taken a sick child for
>>treatment.
>>Though it was never really explained why, but shortly after her arrest,
>>state
>>media reported that she had been expelled from the party, thus
>>automatically
>>losing her seat in the National Assembly. Mrs. Kamaso won the Wuli seat
>>running on APRC ticket but soon fell out with some of the local APRC
>>dignitaries
>>over her fierce independence and acclaimed sense of integrity.
>>Some sources close to the APRC party had said that she was detained for
>>passing a circular around other APRC National Assembly members asking
>>them to
>>take up the matter of farmers whose groundnuts had not been paid by
>>state-sponsored groundnut buyers. Most of her constituents are farmers and
>> depend on
>>groundnut farming for cash sustenance. The story had it that though Mrs.
>>Kamaso
>>did this because she was going to be away from the Assembly's sitting in
>>order
>>to nurse a sick child, the matter of the petition was reported to the
>>President, the ruling party leader, as if Mrs. Kamaso had been engaged in
>>an
>>attempt to organize a vote of no confidence against the Jammeh regime.
>>Hon. Kamaso was arrested shortly after her arrival and before her
>>expulsion
>>from the party was made public. Since then Mrs. Kamaso had been kept
>>under
>>the custody of the NIA in mosquito infested makeshift cells, without
>>access to
>>lawyers and even members of her family. The arrest of persons elected by
>>the
>>people, who by right do enjoy some immunity from such arbitrary arrests,
>>has
>>become common recently in the country. Another APRC member of the
>>National
>>Assembly, Omar Demm, has been in detention since the foiling of the
>>alleged
>>coup attempt in March. The former Mayor of the country's largest
>>municipality,
>>Mr. Abdoulie Conteh also spent six weeks in detention earlier this year.
>>There has yet been no official word on the widespread rumor of the former
>>lawmaker's death. Also rife on the grapevines is the rumored death of
>>former
>>NIA director General, Abdoulie Kujabi. It is the third time rumors have
>>been
>>circulating this year on his alleged death. Mr. Kujabi, formerly very
>>close to
>>President Jammeh, has been in detention since March 2006 and has been
>>seen in
>>the hospital in Banjul six weeks ago. Though he was arrested in
>>connection
>>with the alleged coup attempt, Mr. Kujabi is yet to be formerly charged
>>with
>>any crimes.
