COURTESY OF JOLLOF ON-LINE NEWS Deyda’s Assassination Goes External
"Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) made the revelation while addressing concerns of Arthur West, Campaign Chairperson for Human Rights in the Gambia. Mr. West has not been at eased with “critical human rights situation in the Gambia.” He asked what measures are being taken by the Foreign Office to pressurize Gambian authorities to “respect human rights and to investigate politically-motivated killings.”
Mr. West was pleased that “the Gambia government has acquiesced to our repeated calls and has now committed to request international support to facilitate investigations into the disappearance of Chief Ebrima Manneh and murder of Deyda Hydara. We await a formal request from the Gambian side, and once received, we will facilitate contact for international support for investigations into both cases through the United Nations and Commonwealth,” he said.
