GPU-USA steps in

Dear Friends,

On behalf of GPU-USA, I wish to declare our unflinching and unconditional support of the statement issued by the Gambia Press Union, Banjul, regarding Jammeh's cynical remarks about murdered Gambian veteran journalist Deyda Hydara.

In a recent ranting on the issue of Mr. Hydara's murder, Jammeh cynically said that those who want to know who murdered Deyda should go ask Deyda. This uncharitable and uncouth statement is further testimony that Jammeh has become so intoxicated with power that he can no longer tell day from night.

Regarding investigations into Deyda's brutal murder, the GPU-USA's position is that Jammeh should be held personally responsible unless and until evidence to the contrary is revealed.

Thank you.
Baba G. Jallow
Secretary General, GPU-USA
