APRC Deputy Spokesperson, Mr. Dodou Jah, in an exclusive interview with forGambia Tuesday, stated that his party would mobilize its multitude to the streets if the “Victims Center” is granted a permit to protest in The Gambia.

The victims Center mainly comprises a team of Gambians alleging crimes against Yahya Jammeh and seeking the world’s attention to their history and victimization. Meanwhile, the TRCC (Truth and Reconciliatory Commission) seldom pursues the confessed killers of other Gambians, killers that are everything but Jammeh.

Jah’s assertions came in the wake of his party’s last week narrow escape from Adama Barrow’s protest permit trap. He said he was called by the ECOWAS deputy in The Gambia while he was in Banjul about whether the APRC had gotten its permit granted.

He said he told the diplomat that no permit was handed to them as they spoke. But with or without one, the APRC was still going to go ahead with their peaceful march. When the interior ministry and the Inspector General of Police knew of this, they said they would call an emergency meeting to discuss granting the APRC a permit.

Meanwhile, the Barrow government told the ex-President’s party to proceed with its peaceful protest bereft of an official permit. The deputy speaker continued that the IGP’s office and Interior Ministry did not make much sense because no one was ever granted a permit this way.

It was like a trap for them to go ahead and protest, inviting the authorities to trample on them, denying any verbal, unofficial permit being granted earlier. Jah dilated on other injustices being perpetrated against his party and ordinary Gambians by the Barrow government. Follow the rest of the interview on forGambia radio.
