TVC NEWS [BANJUL] - Gambia freed
more than 200 detainees on Friday, including 31 imprisoned for treachery amid
various plots to topple long-controlling President Yahya Jammeh, prison
authorities said.
It was gathered that many cheering
and sobbing companions and relatives gathered outside the Mile 2 prison in the
tiny West African nation's capital to welcome them.
Those connected to a fizzled
endeavor to expel Jammeh in December stay detained in spite of the fact that
their relatives, including the elderly mother of the asserted instigator, were
liberated, authorities said.
Old inmates, some of whom were
imprisoned for a long time, alternated to express appreciation for their
discharge, declared by Jammeh in a discourse on Wednesday to praise 21 years
since his increase by military overthrow.
Three Dutch residents, a German and
an Australian who had been imprisoned on medication charges were among 49
outsiders discharged, the authorities included. There were 182 Gambians
exculpated.
