Last minute protest for arrested Gambian journalists

Please join Amnesty UK and the NUJ, TUC and IFJ tomorrow for a snap protest against the Gambian government, which is bringing sedition charges against seven Gambian journalists and trade unionists who have offended the President. The government has now brought their trial forward to tomorrow in an attempt to avoid publicity. But in vain! Come along and show that you are not amused.

Where: Gambian High Commission, 57 Kensington Ct, London, W8 5DG

(Nearest tube High Street Kensington)

When: 12.45 - 1.30pm, Friday 3 July

Hope you can make it!

Also for your diary, on 22 July AIUK will be taking part in an international Amnesty day of action, standing up for an end to the rule of fear in the Gambia and particularly calling for an investigation into the 'disappearance' of journalist Ebrima Manneh in July 2006.. We will be asking the Gambian authorities  'Where is Ebrima?'.
