Fellow Gambians and Friends of The Gambia, I have been instructed by my colleagues to inform you that Lamin Waa Juwara's bail has been revoked and he has since been returned to Mile 2 maximum security prisons in Banjul. We are enraged by this unnecessary decision by the authorities, particularly inview of the fact that Waa is already scheduled to reappear in court tomorrow. We are aware that Mr Juwara fully intends to make himself available in court tomorrow, and puting him in custody at this juncture is rather draconian and constitutes an outrageous travesty of his rights to bail. However, we are confident of his innocence of the charges brought against him, and if subjected to a free and fair trial, he will be proven so. But the present turn of events is a source of concern to us considering the fact that Waa's lawyer has already sent a petition to the Chief Justice requesting for the case to be given to another Judge. The latest development is therefore unfortunate and provocative. We thank you all for your solidarity. Omar Joof. _________________________________________________________________ The new MSN 8: smart spam protection and 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail http://join.msn.com/?page=dept/bcomm&pgmarket=en-ca&RU=http%3a%2f%2fjoin.msn.com%2f%3fpage%3dmisc%2fspecialoffers%26pgmarket%3den-ca ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ To Search in the Gambia-L archives, go to: http://maelstrom.stjohns.edu/CGI/wa.exe?S1=gambia-l To contact the List Management, please send an e-mail to: [log in to unmask] To unsubscribe/subscribe or view archives of postings, go to the Gambia-L Web interface at: http://maelstrom.stjohns.edu/archives/gambia-l.html ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
