The Network of Human Rights Journalists (NH.J) - The Gambia expresses total dismay over the continuous disappearance of Chief Ebrima B Manneh., a reporter with the Daily Observer Newspaper, who was last seen on July 7, 2006, after he left his home for work and never returned home.
Mr. Manneh's continuous disappearance is a concern to all those who are concern with human rights and freedom of expression, his relative and love ones, and the media, but most especially his family where he is the breadwinner. Chief Ebrima Manneh's parents are old, and he was the sponsor of his younger sister's education. His disappearance is making life difficult for his entire family. Journalist Manneh's disappearance also leaves a gap in the dissemination of news in The Gambia. The publication of his column had ceased. The Network of Human Right Journalists is calling on the security agents to play a role in the search for Journalist Chief Manneh. We also wish to seize this opportunity to call on any individual who might know or have information about Mr. Manneh's whereabout to report the matter to media houses and to the relevant authorities.
