The IGP refused his request on Tuesday citing security reasons.<\/p>\n<p>But speaking in a Standard exclusive, Dibba said: \u201cI am going to court tomorrow [today] to file a petition for them to allow me to go ahead with my demonstration because the reason given by the police for denying my request is unjustifiable. They are basically telling me I don\u2019t have a right to protest.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe all know what happened to Momodou Sabally is selective justice. I applied for a permit to demonstrate and demand for the IEC and government to do what is just but the police denied me a permit so the only option I have right now is to take the matter to court for them to compel the police to give me the permit,\u201d Dibba said.<\/p>\n<p>In a related development, some supporters of Mr Sabally have also written to the IGP requesting a permit to protest against the IEC\u2019s decision. In their letter signed by one Buba Sanna Njie, they said they plan on protesting for two days \u2013 Friday 18th March and Saturday 19th March.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe planned peaceful protests are scheduled to take place between Friday March 18 at 3pm and Saturday March 19 at 3pm,\u201d the pro-Sabally group told police chief Abdoulie Sanyang in their letter.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf approved, the protests will start on Friday at 3pm at the IEC headquarters in Kanifing municipality where protesters will march and submit a written petition to the chairman of the IEC.<\/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.
