The US Chapter of the Gambia Press Union have submitted a petition to the Gambian people and the International Community demanding that President Yahya Jammeh and the Government of the Gambia immediately produce Journalist Chief Ebrima Manneh to assure his family and the general public that he is alive.
According to the association's secretary general, Baba Galleh Jallow,"The petition is prompted by a statement by Attorney General Marie Saine-Firdaus on April 6, 2009 that Chief Manneh is not in the custody of the Gambian state. Manneh was picked up around July 7, 2006 by agents of Gambia's secret police, the National Intelligence Agency (NIA), who are driectly answerable to Jammeh."
Please take a moment to read and sign this petition in support of Chief Manneh's case, for the cause of humanity, and against impunity.
