Truth and Justice in The Gambia

Read more: www.hrw.org/ne...
(Banjul, May 24, 2021) - Testimony before a Gambian truth commission linking former president Yahya Jammeh to numerous grave crimes during his 22 years in office should be followed by criminal accountability, Human Rights Watch said today with the release of a video, “Truth and Justice in Gambia.” On May 27, 2021, the Gambia Truth, Reconciliation and Reparations Commission (TRRC) will conclude over two years of publicly televised sessions.
Victims and former government officials who testified at the hearings, which began in January 2019, tied Jammeh to the killing and torture of political opponents, the murder of about 59 West African migrants, and “witch hunts” in which hundreds of people were arbitrarily detained, among other crimes. They also alleged that Jammeh raped and sexually assaulted women brought to him and personally ran a sham treatment program that forced HIV-positive Gambians to give up their medicine and put themselves under Jammeh’s personal care.

We're now suffering than ever since Jammeh regime ends, he's better than this man we called president now. During his regime he was the only one killing but now everyone is killing like a lawless country. Nothing can stopped Gambians from loving him.

[@samburasgambianveganspecia328]

You are heartless? Let it be your family member he killed an you will know how it feels? No matter what’s going on in The Gambia we never need a person like jammeh! Killing innocent people destroying family. If you were a victim you will understand? Jammeh must face justice? Taking a life is not eating ice cream jammeh is the worse on earth

[@thetruthonelove8884]

@@samburasgambianveganspecia328 you're talking rubbish, Jammeh face justice or not it's not my problem. My problem is for not saying the truth. How many unknown dead bodies are found in Gambia after Jammeh regime and still no one knows what's the cause of it. Atlest during Jammeh regime we know he was responsible.

[@mj-zq4qg]

Even a donkey is better than Jammeh and you just proved that by saying he was the only one killing and those that make the country lawful as we are lawless now according to your little brain

Absolutely...... Definitely shows how ridiculous people can be...........LOL Such a Puppet

[@playboyplayboy5560]

Sandeng your father wanted to burn the Gambia and unfortunately he died in the process, your people should not blame jammeh for that but anyway may God forgive his soul to rest In peace.
