Thanks Karamba and Dalton,

Send flowers anywhere you wish, but for it to be significant their offices and hearts must be filled with sorry with our individual feelings and let the whole world know that our brothers and sisters did not die in vain. Let them burn them, if they wish, let them...

The significance of sending flowers is not to appease the Embassy staff but to share our feelings with them. We cannot all go to the Gambia to lay flowers but I think the little we can do now is to act. Laying flowers in the Gambia may endanger life and we need to end this injustice by peaceful means.

Simple ideas work! Remember Jammeh and his gang were terrified by Citizen radio broadcasting in local languages.

Who knows what will come out of sending flowers to Gambian embassies?

Send flowers by courier, by post, by any means. You do not need to put your name on it, for it is the feelings that matters.

May be, their hearts will soften up one day.

Brother Santanfara,

From now on, we must all bear in mind months and dates of brutal killings done by Jammeh. Throughout those months, there need be sufficient outcry to stop Jammeh from resting at all. Being the type of person he is, he will pretend ignoring the loud sounds but deep in him, insects of guilt will stay biting his failing heart. We start this from April. Even long after Jammeh is gone, the last remaining of his collaborators will live to witness what history reveals.

Thank you, Bread Man and all those who support this simple idea, for it is claimed that Good men who fail to act and give a blind eye to injustice will also pay.

Please find attached a link to buy flowers in the UK plus the address of the Gambian Embassy.

Begining of April is a very good starting point for sending flowers for our fallen Kids of 10/11 April.

This abstract from USA Country Reports on Human Rights Practices - 2001 Released by the Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor
March 4, 2002 is for those who want to recollect this sad day.

http://www.state.gov/g/drl/rls/hrrpt/2001/af/8377.htm

On April 10, 2000, Gambia Student Union (Gamsu) members attempted to hold a peaceful demonstration to protest the alleged mishandling of the investigation into the death of a student while in the custody of fire officers (see Section 1.a.), and the alleged rape of a 13-year-old schoolgirl by an unidentified man in uniform. When police attempted to stop the demonstration, the student demonstrators burned tires and threw stones. In response security forces shot at the demonstrators, killing 14 students and injuring many others, and arrested hundreds of other students (see Section 1.d.). In January a government commission established to look into the findings of the coroner's inquest submitted its report. The report recommended that the Minister of Interior, Ousman Badjie, and three top police officers should accept responsibility for the incident on April 10-11, 2000; that some police intervention unit personnel deployed where the shooting and killings happened should assume responsibility for the deaths and injuries; and that seven student leaders of Gamsu should be prosecuted.

On January 26, following the submission of the government commission's report, the Government announced that it disagreed with the recommendations of the commission and, in the spirit of reconciliation, nobody would be prosecuted. Human rights activists and a coalition of lawyers severely criticized the Government for its position, arguing that the Government, in effect, was supporting impunity. The coalition urged the Government to reconsider its position on the report and to take concrete steps to bring those responsible for the deaths and injuries to justice. On April 18, after a heated debate, the National Assembly approved a very controversial Indemnity Bill, which was backdated to January 2000. The opposition and five ruling APRC National Assembly members voted against the bill, arguing that it was unconstitutional. The coalition of lawyers and some National Assembly members said that the bill, which was passed to amend the Indemnity Act of 1982, would deny persons their right of access to justice. The bill read: "The President may, for the purpose of promoting reconciliation in an appropriate case, indemnify any person he may determine, for any act, matter or omission to act, or things done or purported to have done during any unlawful assembly, public disturbance, riotous situation or period of public emergency." In May the President signed the bill, despite a general outcry and petitions from human rights organizations. The legislation prevents those affected, including parents of children killed on April 10-11, 2000, from seeking redress in any court in the country.

This is the type of justice under Jammeh.



Have a good day.

I join the flower sending whole heartedly without prejudice. As I said I am loyal to my country first and then to my leader. I although still do not believe Jammeh was personally responsible for all the un explained deaths. It will be unfair to judge him without due process.

It is the mark of intelligence to entertain an idea without accepting it.
