News just arrives confirming the release of Lawyer Ousainou Darboe and others. Their release comes after the high court in Banjul acquits and discharges them. In July United this year, Justice Eunice Dada sent almost the entire leadership of the Democratic Party and some supporters to prison for holding a peaceful protest, demanding the release of Solo Sandeng dead or alive. Mr. Sandeng was rounded up with other UDP activists on April 14th. He was not only beaten to death but his family was denied the right to bury his remains. Sandeng’s colleague activists who included three women were brutally tortured and tried in Jammeh’s kangaroo court before being jailed for three years. They are currently being imprisoned in Janjanbureh prisons.
