Hi List Members,

The mail below is from Momodou 'Dumo' Saho's wife. As you can see, Dumo and others are being framed here. I think we should intensify our campaign to sensitise the international community about their plight

I have in mind the kind of campaign that we carried out in the aftermath of the student massacres. Maybe Brother Buharry can help pen a petition that can be used as a standard for our various international communities? 

We must do all we can to stop Jammeh from murdering yet another group of young productive Gambians!

Regards,

Kabir.
