Hi ,
I would suggest that the petition demands for Mr Dumo to be accorded a fair
and impartial and speedy trial,that he be allowed access to an attorney,that
he be granted bail so that he can properly prepare for his defence.The
petition should be copied to the human rights organizations such amnesty
international,who should be encouraged to monitor the trial to ensure a free
trial in accordance with the universal declaration of human rights,the
african charter on human rights,and the constitution of the gambia.
PEACE
PASAMBA
