has recommended restitution for victims of human rights abuses during the 22-year long rule of former Gambia president, Yahya Jammeh.
Having initially appeared to be willing to accept the results, Mr Jammeh then changed his mind, citing ‘abnormalities’ and called for the results to be cancelled and fresh elections held. A 2015 Human Rights Watch investigative report detailed how security services and guerrilla groups routinely used intimidation, violence, arson, and forced disappearances against three people who spoke out against those in power.In the report released on Monday, the CDD said once reparation regulations are finalised, the details should also be simplified and communicated across media – print, radio, TV, social media – in local languages.
It said there should be an approved process of building on the work that has been done by the TRRC in bringing the issue of Sexual and Gender Based Violence into the public arena.
