Hi Soffie,
Thanks for the response. Sorry to say I am still not clear on your reply.
Does it mean the final document has been edited to read differently from what was
there before? Please let me know as i would like to sign a petition for the
release of Waa Juwara.
On a final note, generic is very important especially when it is a matter of
life and death because what you want is as many signatures as possible and a
generic petition ( and by this I mean one that does not seem to give the
impression of any party affiliation) will get you signatures from party affiliates
as well as non-party affiliates. In a situation like this, it si the numbers
that count.
Thanks.
Jabou
