Accountability Now! The unlawful re-arrest of Ousainou & Amie Bojang, defiance of a court ruling,violent crackdown on peaceful protesters, signal a grave breach of the Constitution. We demand the immediate resignation of the Minister of Justice & the IGP. No one is above the law

EFSCRJ is one year this month. Over the past year, the Centre has stood firm in exposing corruption, amplifying civic voices, and promoting justice and transparency.
Today, on our first anniversary, we renew our call to all Gambians: let us stop taking The Gambia for granted.

To say that I’m disappointed & angry with both the MCG & NHRC would be an understatement. How could they do such a thing? They are supposed to protect Mustapha’s rights as a journalist, not question him or call him in for interrogation based on "people's perceptions"of the story!

It is disheartening to detain &charge Gambian youths seeking accountability in the public interest by denying them their right to peacefully express themselves freely using draconian laws that have no place in a democratic society.This is a relic from Jammeh’s repressive regime.

Twenty five years ago, 14 Gambian students and a Red Cross volunteer and a baby were gunned to death by security forces as students demonstrated to demand justice for the rape of a school girl and the beating to death of a schoolboy, both at the hands of security officers.

Find attached our statement on our total objection to the selling of our national port to a foreign company. It is not in the national interest. This concession is a reward for corruption, mismanagement, political interference and patronage. Hold corrupt officials accountable.

The Gambia marks its 60th Independence Day on Feb 18. EFSCRJ argues that true independence was achieved on April 24, 1970. We condemn the Government's plan to host a grand event to spend millions given the country's ongoing issues of poverty. We call for national conversations.

We reject the celebration of the dictator Yaya Jammeh by including his face on this poster. It represents a denial of the dictatorship and insensitivity to victims.
