Gambia News : Detained Gambian opposition leader charged, released

Oct 27,2009 by

gambia The detained Campaign Manager of Gambia's main opposition United Democratic Party (UDP), Femi Peters, appeared before Banjul Magistrates' Court charged with "organising an unlawful assembly", sources in Banjul confirmed to PANA Tuesday.

According to the sources, Mr. Peters refused to enter into a plea when the charges were read out to him in court on Monday in the absence of a lawyer.

However, he was later granted bail and asked to return to court on Wednesday when he is expected to take his plea for the trial process to start.

Gambian Police arrested and detained Mr. Peters on 25 October after his party defiantly held a political rally without a permit.

  • You will be a winner if you know the corupt and sabotizers. Jammeh will on daily bases kick them out or send them to prision. Before you ask the army to fight for you why not come and do the job. Losers shall always be crying and disappointed.

  • You could have a weekly competition, based on who Jammeh will sack or arrest this week. Answers on the back of a postcard. Winner gets a framed print of his most wonderfulness, Mr. President. Yayah, I am being sarcastic, you are just being stupid!

  • The phone number for that idiot IGP should be published so Gambians can call and ask him what section of the constitution says that the opposition cannot have a permit to hold their rallies
