Edu_GomezJustice Minister threatens to prosecute exile Gambians
Gambia’s Justice Minister, Edward Gomez on January 7, 2011 issued threats to exiled journalists and rights defenders  saying that they would be prosecuted if they returned for allegedly “painting  a grim picture ” of the country.Edu_Gomez
Gomez, who was reacting to a publication in a privately-owned Daily News about an international campaign against the systematic human rights violations in the country, said: “we will wait here for them to come (home).”
The Justice Minister said the advocates were “evil members” of society” who have taken refuge abroad and were “putting every nonsensical story in newspapers and on radio to tarnish the good image of the government.”
Media Foundation for West Africa (MFWA) sources attributed the minister’s threats to a campaign mounted by an exiled journalist Alieu B Ceesay and Scottish Society of Human Rights.  The sources said in December 2010 the campaign received a boost with 24 British parliamentarians appending their signatures to a motion calling on the international community to ensure that the deteriorating human rights in Gambia are improved.
On the repression of Gambians including abductions and gruesome killings, which was the basis of the motion, Gomez said those were mere speculations and unfounded allegations.

I'm not surprised to find among the majority of educated individuals in the Gambia, are people who hold one particular view because that's all they know. In the fight of true justice, it is not the critic who counts; not the man who exposes how a fellow man stumbles, or where well-wishers could have done better. You educated, but it does not count; the world is full of educated fools. Credit belongs to the man who is actually in this arena; who strives fearlessly; who slips, and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without shortcomings; but because he does strive to do the deeds, he knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions; and spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of justice, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with cold and timid souls, like yours; who know neither victory or defeat. j4life your comments are as worthy as what i flush each day.

Lets keep the momentum going. The more these idiot officials talk, the better for our cause.

Some of us have no guns, but we have the keyboard! FJM is right, "the Pen is mightier that the gun".

We are doing what the soldiers couldn't do (so far) with the gun.

Those idiotic clowns who think those aid given to nations including Gambia are for free must make further research on international aid but first they must go back to school to improve their english language standard.
It is true that no one is perfect both some people here is better to keep their fingers away from the keyboards as it is really embarassing and very hard to understand their writings.You hear me!

Whenever one say something without thinking about, their comments end up having to back-fire on them. He thinks that gambians abroad are destroying the countries image, but what he failed to realize is that his comments made it easier for governments abroad to believe, what Gambians tell them about the country. I will urge all Gambian abroad to apply for asylum in the respective countries they are in. GO APPLY FOR ASYLUM. This will increase the presure on the Gambian government. GO APPLY FOR ASYLUM AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. I have two friends in the England that are processing their documents as we speak, so go do the same, it does not matter what country you are. This is the opportunity that you have been waiting for, even if you are a resident of that country, just go and apply. You do have a way now to bring about change, this is your opportunity to bring about change. Apply for asylum. When the thousands of Gambians apply, their is no way they will be denied, because there is evidence.

In the real world, you would expect such a statement from an APRC militant not a justice minister. This fool just confirmed all what is being said about the Jammeh government.

Edu, thanks for helping the cause of those working so hard to correct the dreadful situation in The Gambia.

EDU IS BENEFITING FROM THE APRC GOVERNMENT. HIS TWO DAUGHTRES ARE WORKING AS SPY FOR THE JAMMEH. ONE IS BASED IN KANILAI AND THE ELDEST IS ATTACHED AT THE GAMBIA HIGH COMMISSION IN LONDON UK. HE IS A BIG HYPOCRITE, IF THE UK IS SO BAD WHY ARE HIS CHILDREN LIVING THERE. SHAME ON YOU...EDU GOMEZ.

Justice Minister Gomez..exposes the APRC government and its ambiguous segregation.. "appartite" and separatist policies.

The Gambia remains disconnected from its body and soul.

Akin to a sheep with a hyenna's head?

So many displaced citizens

So many stateless travellers

So many weeping mothers

So many confused individuals.

I feel bitterly ashamed.
