Gambia: UDP Leader, Others Seek Time to Regularise Bail Application Process

A team of lawyers who are defending the leader of Gambia's opposition United Democratic Party (UDP), Ousainou Darboe, and eighteen other party supporters, before Justice O Ottabaa at the High Court in Banjul, yesterday requested for an adjournment of the trial. The defence team, led by Lawyer Antouman AB Gaye, said adjournment of the case would enable them to regularise their processes for bail.

Ousainou Darboe is charged alongside Kemeseng Jammeh, Femi Peters, Lamin Dibba, Lamin Jatta, Yaya Bah, Babucarr Camara, Fakebba Colley, Ismaila Ceesay, Momodou Fatty, Dodou Ceesay, Samba Kinteh, Mamudu Manneh, Nfarama Kuyateh, Fanta Darboe, Lamin Njie, Juguna Suso, Momodou LK Sanneh and Yaya Jammeh, with unlawful assembly, riot, incitement of violence, riotously interfering with violence and holding a procession without a permit. They denied any wrongdoing at yesterday's mentioning of the matter.
