27 people arrested in a protest in Gambia over the sale of a former dictator's assets

  • At least 27 protesters and two journalists were arrested in a May 9, 2025 protest in Banjul, Gambia, over the sale of former dictator Yahya Jammeh's assets.
  • The protest followed an investigative report accusing the government of selling Jammeh’s assets below market value, while authorities said the sale was legal and served the public interest.
  • The group Gambians Against Looted Assets organized demonstrations calling for openness regarding the assets allegedly misappropriated by former ruler Yahya Jammeh during his oppressive 20-year regime characterized by human rights violations.
  • Omar Saibo Camara, spokesperson for GALA, urged Gambians to unite against the police's illegal actions and to participate in mass demonstrations.
  • The arrested protesters remain in police custody, raising concerns about civil rights and press freedom amid ongoing reforms in Gambia's post-authoritarian context.
