Aug. 18th 2008. Fatou Jaw Manneh convicted by the coop.
Dear Friends,
We at The GDP wish to thank all of you who have graced Fatou’s cove and who
have called as a show of solace and support to Fatou. She appreciates every
one of you and has asked us to thank you for her. When she is able, she will
personally thank all of you the soonest.
I want to share with you that Fatou has been blessed with some of the
greatest brothers one could ever hope for. Without their updating me I will not
have been able to share Fatou’s plight with you. I therefore personally thank
Mr. Salifu Manneh, Mr. Ousman Manneh, and Mr Babucarr Manneh. We also thank
Fatou’s chief counsel Mr. Lamin Jobarteh and Mr. Lamin Camara as well as the
most compassionate Hon. Barry Wells, US Ambassador to Gambia. We are all proud
of you.
Magistrate Buba Jawo opined that Yahya brought a lot of development to
Gambia and that the words alleged to have been shared with AllGambian.net
newspaper risked inciting riots and disorder. My friends you must be thinking what I’
m thinking.
1. Magistrate Jawo had therefore concluded, prosecution’s delinquency in
this area notwithstanding, that the words Fatou was alleged to have spoken (The
interview was never authenticated) in the interview amounted to seditious
speech and revealed INTENT for sedition. He lied and understandably was afraid
for his life and or job.
2. By his assertion that Yahya brought development to Gambia and therefore
is immune to criticism, and unawares, magistrate Jawo had certified what we
have been sharing with you all along; that the case was Fatou V. Yahya and not
one of State V. Fatou. There is a subtle but substantial difference between
the two styles. It means that there was no case of State V. Fatou as offered
by the prosecution and therefore it should have been thrown out summarily.
3. If magistrate Jawo realised and was confident that Yahya did indeed bring
all this development to Gambia, would it not defy logic then that the words
of a lowly journalist to the contrary would be capable of INCITING riots and
disorder??????? Or is it that the learned magistrate was lying again about
the premise of his ruling???
Nevertheless friends, the kangaroo court headed by a slave of a magistrate
has done the dirty deed. We are pleased that our other friends on the ground
in Gambia assisted by other good samaritan citizens and non-citizens alike,
were able to come up with the ridiculously exhorbitant fine of $12,500.00
within an equally ridiculous time frame of 11/2 hours.
Our task now my friends is to raise that amount in the quickest way possible
to repay the generous souls, some of whom had used their daily bread’s worth
to ascertain Fatou’s freedom. Any amount will be appreciated and can be
mailed to:
The GDP (Fatou Jow Manneh Fund)
P.O. Box 775
Lithia Springs, GA 30122
Please note if you wish to remain anonymous.
We thank you all and may God Bless you and yours.
