Thanks for the forward. What a delay tactic. An iportant document like case file how can that get lost out of the blue? Our judicial authorties are in cohort with the regime. A serious case like sedition playing the delayinf tactic, one wander something is wrong without judicial system.

Magistrate's court finds Fatou's missing case file
Panapress.

Banjul, Gambia - The Banjul Magistrate's has found the case file of
journalist Fatou Jaw Manneh, who is being tried for sedition, reliable sources said o
n Monday.

The file had been reported missing from Kanifing Magistrate's Court and the
sour ces said the file had already been sent back to that Court.

The sources added that 16 April had also been set for the trial to resume
after months of delay and transfer from one court to another.

Magistrate Buba Jawo adjourned the matter indefinitely after the file was
report ed missing in court on 17 March.

Journalist Fatou Jaw Manneh has been standing trial on different charges of
sedi tion since April last year. Only two witnesses have so far testified in
the case .

The case was moved from Kanifing to Banjul, Brikama, but the trial never
took pl ace there. Later it was moved to the High Court and then back to
Kanifing court.

US-based Gambian freelance journalist Fatou Jaw Manneh was arrested and
detained on her arrival in the Gambia in March 2007.

She is on trial for sedition for writing articles critical of the Gambian
Presid ent Yahya Jammeh and faces a heavy prison sentence if convicted.
