Karim,
 
And the funny thing is Fatou's lawyer who should have been informed first  
along with the prosecution, has yet to find out that the case file has  
re-appeared and that a new court date of April 16th had been set.
What idiots at that Kanifing chicken coop????
 
Haruna.

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.
