Monday 2nd October 2006

After spending 129 days in detention at the National Intelligence Agency, Mr Lamin Bojang, a Medical Research Council (MRC) staff stationed at Farafenni, was granted bail on Friday. Mr Bojang was arrested on May 24th, in connection with the Pa Ndery Mbai- edited on-line Freedom newspaper, whose alleged informants were published in an earlier edition of the Daily Observer newspaper.

According to our sources, who spoke to the Point yesterday, Mr Bojang was woken from sleep between the hours of 3:00-4:00pm last Friday and told that there was a High Court order that he should be granted bail.

Our source however added that Mr Bojang was never charged with any offence throughout the period of his detention.

Lawyer Borry Touray represented Mr Bojang.

Mr Bojang has been a Data Entry Clerk with the MRC for four years.

Meanwhile The Point has gathered from reliable sources that Malick Mboob, Duta Kamaso and Staff Sergeant Buba Jammeh are still being detained.
