My old friends at the Media Foundation of West Africa are presently making an attempt to cause The Gambia to pay the judgments due in the Chief Manneh case and the other torture case Judgments of $100,000 and $250,000 respectively. The Foundation on July 30 held a symposium in Abuja, Nigeria, of highly respected attorneys and the ECOWAS Community Court and they adopted a resolution aimed at supporting the human rights work of the Court and its judgments and will draft a formal presentation to the Court to be called the Abuja Declaration to the Commission. So slowly we are making progress. Hopefully this is the beginning of the end to Gambia's ontransigence.
