Gambia: MFWA Crowns the President of the Gambia 'West Africa's King of Impunity'

press release

The Media Foundation for West Africa (MFWA) has named the President of The Gambia, Yahya Jammeh, 'West Africa's King of Impunity.' The MFWA bestows this title upon President Jammeh as a result of his 20-year-long rule of fear, characterized by gross human rights violations, disregard for the rule of law and on-going impunity for egregious rights violations in The Gambia.

This crowning marks the climax of the MFWA's campaign to end impunity in The Gambia, which began on the first anniversary of the United Nations International Day to End Impunity for Crimes against Journalists, observed on November 2.
