A student at the University of The Gambia who accused his lecturer of violating his right has walked back his complaint.
Mustapha Ceesay lodged a complaint against Dr Charles Mendy with the National Human Rights Commission on May 14 said the lecturer violated his fundamental right to freedom of conscience, association, assembly and movement. He also charged that the lecturer violated his right to practise any religion and to manifest such practice.
According to Ceesay in his complaint, Dr Mendy wilfully held French 102 lecture online “without his knowing fully well that the University informed its staff and students that will it is on Eid break until 17th May”.
Ceesay has now written to the NHRC saying he is now withdrawing his complaint, in a dramatic twist to the matter on Tuesday.
He said in his Tuesday letter: “I hereby withdraw the said complaint after the lecturer concerned on 18th May apologised for the act, announced a postponement of the test previously slated for the 21st May 2021 to a latter day.”
