He assured her that the partnership would continue with The Point.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe will continue our efforts to speak for the voiceless, and we will try to accomplish our mission,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe did a lot and she is an icon for press freedom and had played a big role for the establishment of the TRRC,\u201d Mr. Saine said of Mrs. Jagne-Senghore, while assuring that her legacy would be upheld by The Point.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFatou was very instrumental and was keen about justice for Deyda and she made sure that Deyda was remembered every December,\u201d Baba Hydara, the co-publisher of The Point recalled.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe did this not only for Deyda but the entire country,\u201d he underlined. \u201cNot only me, but everybody in my family is so grateful.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe has made sure that Article 19 stands its ground and made sure that the rights of journalists are protected. But through your institution things have changed because anything happens to journalists your institution takes it up.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Bintou Jaiteh: the legal officer for ARTICLE 19 thanked The Point for opening its doors for them. Even though Fatou is leaving, she expressed optimism that her leaving will create an opportunity for ARTICLE 19 to work together with The Point.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/gambia\">Gambia<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Gambia.
