The Gambia police are currently detaining a prominent human rights activist Madi Jobarteh following his ‘Black Lives Matter’ peaceful protest on Saturday.

He is said to be questioned on his purported comment during an interview with the media at the protest site in front of the American embassy in the country.

A credible source told The Chronicle the Madi is refusing to write a statement at the police station, which the police are insisting that he must either do so or be detained overnight.
