The said article mainly referred to in Fatou's case is tiltled "Jammeh
Under the Microscope." The article was written by Fatou and published on
September 19(??) 2003 by the Independent newspaper. This led to the
abduction of the editor-in-chief Abdoulie Sey in an unmarked car and held
at the NIA headquarters for three days (sounds familiar?).
