>It is unfortunate that as we prepare to mark the 5th anniversary of the 
>senseless assasination of innocent students on April 10th and 11th, our 
>country is yet again going through political turbulence, and in the final 
>analysis it is poor Gambians who will bear the brunt of the consequences. 
>The APRC government under Yaya Jammeh has created the conditions such that 
>for the past eleven years, our country has been tiptoeing through land 
>mines of political uncertainty.
>
>In the absence of rule of law, and a Government focus on whatever it takes 
>to stay in power, trampling the civil liberties of Gambians and the use of 
>brute force to achieve objectives, the future of the Gambia will always 
>remain precarious. The response from the Government after the alleged coup 
>further demonstrates its total disregard for the protection of civil 
>liberties of Gambians. STGDP urges the Government to respect the 
>fundamental human and constitutional rights of the accused. The STGDP finds 
>lining up alleged coupists on TV screens as an affront to democracy and due 
>process under the law. All those under arrest should be presumed innocent 
>until proven guilty in a court of law.
>
>Secondly, we are condemning in the strongest terms in singling out the 
>private media, yet again the Independent Newspaper and the targeting of its 
>employees. STGDP is again urging the government to release with immediate 
>effect these individuals to their families and to end all the harassment 
>and intimidation of Gambians. The future of a stable and peaceful Gambia 
>starts with the government demonstrating total commitment to democracy, 
>rule of law and respecting the norms of a civilized society.
