GAMBIA
Journalist freed after being held illegally for 139 days by intelligence agents
Malick Mboob, a former reporter with the
pro-government Daily Observer and now the Royal
Victoria Teaching Hospital's communication
officer, was finally released yesterday after
being held illegally for 139 days in the cells of
the National Intelligence Agency in Banjul.
He was arrested on 26 May on suspicion of writing
articles for the Freedom Newspaper, a US-based
news website that is very critical of the Gambian
government. Someone hacked into the site on the
night of 22 May, obtaining lists of subscribers
and contributors.
