HUMRA further calls on the government of the to immediately release all the arrestees and further  investigate in the use use of fire arms which causes serious injuries. All the  members of the Gambian opposition arrested last on Monday 9 May by President Yahya Jammeh’s government are prisoners of conscience and should be released because they were simply expressing their political opinion as guaranteed under the Gambian constitution.

“The Gambian constitution protects freedom of expression and freedom of assembly, including peaceful protest. And international law makes clear that there should be no criminalization of people who’ve been taking part in peaceful protest, even if there had not been authorization granted.
