Fellow Gambians and Friends of The Gambia,
I have been instructed by my colleagues to inform you that Lamin Waa
Juwara's bail has been revoked and he has since been returned to Mile 2
maximum security prisons in Banjul. We are enraged by this unnecessary
decision by the authorities, particularly inview of the fact that Waa is
already scheduled to reappear in court tomorrow. We are aware that Mr Juwara
fully intends to make himself available in court tomorrow, and puting him in
custody at this juncture is rather draconian and constitutes an outrageous
travesty of his rights to bail.
However, we are confident of his innocence of the charges brought against
him, and if subjected to a free and fair trial, he will be proven so. But
the present turn of events is a source of concern to us considering the fact
that Waa's lawyer has already sent a petition to the Chief Justice
requesting for the case to be given to another Judge. The latest development
is therefore unfortunate and provocative.
We thank you all for your solidarity.
Omar Joof.
