This is not a good sign for The Gambia and shows that these people will use
all means to try to stay in power. The oposition coalition NADD has scared
them and they know they can't win in the coming elections in 2006.
Arresting and intimidation of oposition figures is one of the last tactics
they can do. However, at the end power belongs to the people.

I join you and everyone in condemming this recent move by the A(F)PRC
government. I demand
the unconditional release of Halifa, Hamat and O.J.
