Free Ebrina Manneh

Nobody knows exactly why journalist Ebrima B. Manneh was arrested by Gambian authorities. What's almost certain, however, is that Manneh was detained for exercising his right to freedom of expression.Free journalist Ebrima B. Manneh. »Gambian authorities claim that they didn't arrest Manneh and don't know where he is, even though there are reports that he was escorted into a hospital by police.The Economic Community of West African States, along with others, isn't buying the government's story. They issued a statement saying that Manneh's right to liberty and fair trial were violated, and asked authorities to release him and restore his human rights. But the government has been silent. Don't let the Gambian government cover up Ebrima B. Manneh's whereabouts after his murky arrest. Tell the Gambian President Dr. A.J.J. Yahya Jammeh to release Manneh immediately. »
