Subject: Why are there still civilian detainees?
Message-ID: <19961218123330.AAA17562@LOCALNAME>
Gambia-l,
The following article is from FOROYAA issue of 5-12 december 1996.
Perhaps Mr. Tombong Saidy can shed some light on the case of the
people mentioned. I wrote about them some time ago on the list here
but they were not among the detainees released.
Peace
Momodou
______________________________________________________
THE LONGEST HELD CIVILIAN DETAINEES
The quality of mercy is strained
The aftermath of the presidential elections witnessed the release of
many civilian and military detainees.
What is, however, puzzling is the criteria the head of state
had utilised to grant mercy.
Up till now the longest serving civilian detainees are still not
released. Ousman Sillah was detained since Wednesday, 17 September
1995. He has been held in communicado since then. His family has
never had the opportunity to communicate with him. It is belived tht
he is held at Jangjanbureh Prison. He has not been charged and has
never appeared before a court.
Lamin Waa Juwara was also detained on the 1st of February 1996.
He has not been charged or taken before a court.
Alhagie Alfusainey Dukureh is over 70 years. He has been under
detention for over eleven months now. He has neither been charged nor
released.
It is indicated by the head of state that some detainees are not
released because of security concerns; that the Muslim elders who
went to request for the release of detainees were told to speak to
the families of the detainees to discuss the security concerns before
they are released.
Now the situation is that Ousman Sillah, Lamin Waa Juwara, and
Alfusainey Dukureh are all civilian detainees. They canot pose any
security threat. It is therefor necessary for all those who are
concerned with justice to raise the issue of the longest serving
detainees with the head of state. They have been held without access
to lawyers and loved ones.

Subject: The President-elect's night allowance
Message-ID: <19961218130758.AAA20782@LOCALNAME>
>From FOROYAA No. 46/96 5-12 december, 1996
PRESIDENT ELECT JAMMEH IS SAID TO RECEIVE D2700 PER NIGHT WHEN HE
TRAVELS
As the visits of President-elect Jammeh increase, many readers have
asked FOROYAA wether he receives the same allowance as Mr Jawara used
to receive, and whether his wife also receives what Mr Jawara's wives
used to receive.
The answer to the question is in the positive. President-elect
Jammeh still receives 180 pounds per night or D2700 every night he
spends abroad. His wife receives 90 pounds or D1350 per night. The
ministers receive 130 pounds or D1950 per night.
It is difficult to know wether he takes imprests like mr Jawara.
When those who are responsible are asked they simply say that they
are public servants who work under instructions.
Readers would recall that under Mr Jawara the arrangement for
expenses of travels by the President and entourage was done directly
with the Accountant General s office without any intermediary. We are
not aware that anything has changed in this regard. it is anticipated
that once the National Assembly and the new Constitution are put in
place an era of transparency and accountability in government will
come into being.
We hope the executive is preparing itself for a new culture of
governance which all Gambians envisage in the second Republic.
Readers can also do their accounting when officials travel. For
example, President-elect ammeh was in Taiwan from the 20th to 25th
November, 1996 and Libya from the 26th to 30th November, 1996. the
entire trip took 10 days. he has also gone for the Franco-African
Summit.
Once the sums are calculated one also examines the number of
officials accompanying the president and compare it with the
achievements. In this way, one determines whether Gambia has gained
from the trip or not. this is how matters stand.

19 DECEMBER 1996
THE GAMBIA: THE GOVERNMENT MUST PROTECT HUMAN RIGHTS DURING
THE FORTHCOMING PARLIAMENTARY ELECTIONS.
The Gambian Government should ensure that the human rights
violations which took place in the recent presidential
election are not repeated during the parliamentary elections
to be held on=20
2 January, Amnesty International said today.
=7EThe intimidation, harassment and violence directed at
political opponents by the armed forces and the security
police -- the National Intelligence Agency (NIA) -- which
took place in the days leading up to the presidential
election in September 1996 must not happen again,=7E the
organization said. =7EGambian citizens should be able to
express their opinions freely without fear of reprisal.=7E
Amnesty International has already received news that
Ebrima Cessay, the news editor of the Daily Observer, has
left the Gambia in fear of arrest. The organization also
fears that the recent clashes provoked by government
supporters against opposition supporters in Talinding,
Serrakunda, on 16 December may re-occur. During the clashes
the government brought in a special squad and violence
ensued.
Some of the worst violations took place in the run-up
to the presidential elections. On the evening of 22
=0ASeptember, four days before the election, supporters of the
main opposition party, the United Democratic party (UDP),
were stopped on the Denton Bridge in the capital, Banjul, by
armed soldiers under the personal command of Captain Yankuba
Touray, the campaign manager for the political party
established by the ruling Armed Forces Provisional Ruling
Council (AFPRC) and also the Minister for Local Government.
Gun-shots were fired and opposition supporters were ordered
out of their cars and to take off their party T-shirts.=20
More than one hundred UDP supporters were then
subjected to a systematic assault. They were beaten with
sticks, truncheons and gun butts and forced to lie on the
ground face down. At least 33 people were seriously injured;
some had to be admitted to hospital. Dozens of people were
arrested and detained without charge just before the
presidential elections.
There has been no investigation into these events.
Amnesty International is demanding that an independent
inquiry be urgently undertaken in order to bring those
responsible for the human rights violations to justice and
that measures be taken to ensure that such violations are not
repeated.
The safety of opposition politicians who feared or had
reasons to fear for their lives during the presidential
election, such as the UDP leader, Ousainou Darboe, must be
guaranteed.
=7EWe are concerned that criminal charges are being used
against political opponents as a way of justifying their
continued detention,=7E Amnesty International said.
Detainees have been held for long periods without
charge. In some cases, they have subsequently been charged
with offences specified in new decrees which are applied
retrospectively. This practice contravenes the principles of
the rule of law and the Gambia=7Es obligations under
international human rights law.
Amnesty International also urges the government to end
short-term arrest without charge of journalists. Foreign
journalists have been threatened with deportation.
=7EThe government should ensure that all Gambian citizens
are able to exercise their right to vote without fear of
arrest, detention and ill-treatment,=7E Amnesty International
said.=20
=7EEqually, all the candidates for the forthcoming
parliamentary election should spell out clearly their
commitments to human rights -- only then may there be a
chance of respecting human rights in the Gambia in the
future.=7E
BACKGROUND
President Yaya Jammeh seized power in a military coup in July
1994. Under sustained domestic and international pressure,
the AFPRC was forced to adopt a two-year program for
transition to civilian rule, to be completed by 1996. =20
On 8 August this year, a new constitution was approved
in a referendum. Amnesty International raised serious
concerns about the new constitution (see The Gambia: A new
constitution - revised draft still threatens human rights, AI
Index: AFR 27/07/96, 7 August 1996).=20
On 26 September the presidential election was held
after a ban on political parties was lifted. A decree was
passed which disqualified former President Sir Dawda Kairaba
Jawara, the former Vice-President and all former ministers of
the People=7Es Progressive Party (PPP) from contesting any
political office. The other main political parties in the
Gambia before the coup, the National Convention Party (NCP),
and the Gambia People=7Es Party (GPP), were also banned from
participating in the election. The penalty for contravening
this decree is life imprisonment or a fine of one million
dalasis (approximately US=24100,000 ). =20
A separate decree gave the Minister of the Interior and
the security forces wide powers of arrest and detention, in
some instances for 90 days, without any right of legal
challenge by the detainee. Opposition political party
supporters were harassed and intimidated and opposition party
leaders were not given equal access to the state-run media.
The Provisional Independent Electoral Commission (PIEC)
complained about unequal access to the media but no measures
were taken to rectify the situation. President Jammeh was
elected as president.
=20
In light of these and other factors, the Commonwealth
Ministerial Action Group (CMAG) described the whole
presidential electoral process as flawed. The European Union
also concluded that the presidential election viewed in an
overall context were not free and fair.

Emne: The President-elect's night allowance
>From FOROYAA No. 46/96 5-12 december, 1996
PRESIDENT ELECT JAMMEH IS SAID TO RECEIVE D2700 PER NIGHT WHEN HE=20
TRAVELS
As the visits of President-elect Jammeh increase, many readers have=20
asked FOROYAA wether he receives the same allowance as Mr Jawara used=20
to receive, and whether his wife also receives what Mr Jawara's wives=20
used to receive.
The answer to the question is in the positive. President-elect=20
Jammeh still receives 180 pounds per night or D2700 every night he=20
spends abroad. His wife receives 90 pounds or D1350 per night. The=20
ministers receive 130 pounds or D1950 per night.
It is difficult to know wether he takes imprests like mr Jawara.
When those who are responsible are asked they simply say that they=20
are public servants who work under instructions.=20
Readers would recall that under Mr Jawara the arrangement for=20
expenses of travels by the President and entourage was done directly=20
with the Accountant General s office without any intermediary. We are=20
not aware that anything has changed in this regard. it is anticipated=20
that once the National Assembly and the new Constitution are put in=20
place an era of transparency and accountability in government will=20
come into being.
We hope the executive is preparing itself for a new culture of=20
governance which all Gambians envisage in the second Republic.
Readers can also do their accounting when officials travel. For=20
example, President-elect ammeh was in Taiwan from the 20th to 25th=20
November, 1996 and Libya from the 26th to 30th November, 1996. the=20
entire trip took 10 days. he has also gone for the Franco-African=20
Summit.
Once the sums are calculated one also examines the number of=20
officials accompanying the president and compare it with the=20
achievements. In this way, one determines whether Gambia has gained=20
from the trip or not. this is how matters stand.
