Human rights commission gets blasted over its Gorgi Mboob redeployment ask

Yunus Hydara has torn into the National Human Rights Commission over its recommendation with respect to police officer Gorgi Mboob.

The group in an investigation held that Mr Mboob assaulted Ebrima Sanneh on his genitals in July this year while the 26-year-old was detained at anti-crime. NHRC however handed the paltry recommendation of him being redeployed from anti-crime.

Yunus Hydara wrote Friday: “Finding Gorgi Mboob guilty of assault that could be fatal and recommending redeployment rather than prosecution is absurd and signifies the spinelessness of the human rights commission.

“Torture of any kind must be forbidden in The Gambia!”
