The National Intelliegence Agency the NIA has again went on rampage, as they
arrested the Editor-in-Chief of the Independent Newspaper Abdoulie Sey.
Mr.Sey was picked up on Friday by Jammeh's bully boys who are bent on ending
press freedom in the tiny West African country.  Reliable soureces from
Banjul, say no reason had been advanced for Editor Sey's arrest.  Sources
say the NIA and their boss Jammeh are  unhappy with the paper's editoria
line,  which is determined to expose the regime's corrupt and dictatorial
tendencies.  The paper had been bold enough  to maintain its editorial line,
even though they have been subjectedb to  all sorts of arrest and harassment
by the babaric NIA since its inception.

Since Friday, Mr.Sey's Family including the Gambia Press union had been
trying to locate the detained journalist without success.  Sources say the
NIA would not allow any body to get into their premises.  The fate of the
arrested journalist is not yet known.  We hope he will not be subjected to
any inhumane treatment, as the Agency is often linked to such atrocities.
