THE LIST OF PEOPLE YAYA JAMMEH AND HIS CRIMINALS T0RTURED AND KILLED!

Baba Galleh Jallow, The Truth, Reconciliation and Reparation Commission, If you don't already have it, this is a list compiled over the years until the arrest in 2016 of the UDP executives, may be of some use for you. If not, tear it up and throw it in the firepit. It's neither complete nor comprehensive, but it's exhaustive. You may need a team of associates to painstakingly shift through it. Good luck

As Gambians remember two decades of unprecedented human and civil rights abuses, we endeavour to put names to the many Gambians who have lost their lives or suffered injustices under the regime of Yahya Jammeh. The updated list of the executed, murdered, disappeared, those being tried, facing charges, exiled or languishing in Yahya Jammeh’s prison system and jail houses around the country tell the story of the brutal legacy of Yahya Jammeh’s and his regime over the past seventeen years. But this list is by no means complete, since the multiple forced disappearances in the Fonis are not near completely documented yet and other crimes by the regime are still to come to light.

Arrested, tortured and killed in prison on April 15,, 2016[Quelltext bearbeiten]

The following were arrested and or unaccounted for since their abduction on April 14th, 2016[Quelltext bearbeiten]









In 2012, Baba Mansally was among ten Gambians who fled the country after it was discovered they were supplying information to Gambian media in the US and UK. Two of those arrested by the regime have since died in the notorious Mile Two Central Prison in the outskirts of the capital.
