On the sixth anniversary of leading Gambian journalist Deyda Hydara's still unsolved murder, Reporters Without Borders appeals to the authorities to stop obstructing an independent investigation and urges President Yahya Jammeh to liberalize the country's media legislation by repealing the laws that were adopted in 2004.

Hydara's murder on 16 December 2004 and the promulgation two weeks later of the Newspaper Amendment Act 2004 and the Criminal Code Amendment Bill 2004 ended an era in which the privately-owned media could stand up to the government. Since then, Gambia's journalists have lived in fear of legislation on defamation and the "publication of false information" that is among the most repressive in West Africa.
