am hereby forwarding an update on the Dumo arrest from the wife Annika
Reagards
Saihou Omar

Friends,
I tried yesterday, but was interrupted by NAWEC's maintenance program that
suddenly cut my access. Anyway -
Yesterday our lawyers - Ebrima Joof & Bah Tambadou - went to the High Court
to file the case and call the Chief of Police, the Head of NIA and the
Attorney General (Justitieministern) to answer to the Judge if they have
Dumo in their custody. The lawyers believe that this will take place latest
on Monday.

Since I also was in Banjul I took the opportunity to pass by the CID
(Criminal Investigation Department office at the Police HQ) to ask about any
progress in their investigation. "Sorry madam, nothing. But we are working
on it." I also passed the gatekeeper at NIA - "No, madam, he is not here"
and the AG's office to find out if his written response to my letter was
ready - "No, not yet".

In the morning I also filed an appeal at the Office of the Ombudsman and a
formal one to the Secretary General of the Commission of Peoples and Human
Rights. That's all so far.

Thanks everybody for your support,
Annika
