Africa-Press – Gambia. <\/strong><\/span>A survivor of the April 10\/11 2000 shooting, Abdou Karim Jammeh, has renewed his calls for justice 22 years after the horrific killings of dozens of student demonstrators by soldiers.<\/p>\n

\u201cI and my colleagues and the victims\u2019 families have been crying for justice since 2001 but to no avail. Victims\u2019 families and survivors suffered for far too long and we were used as campaign tools to change the regime but now we are left behind,\u201d he told The Standard.<\/p>\n

Jammeh, whose fights for justice dated back to former president Jammeh\u2019s days, said the government\u2019s failure to scrap the Public Order Act and the Indemnity Act is a betrayal to the victims.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Coalition 2016 used the victims to campaign but five years along the line all we get is disappointment. We feel betrayed and the dream for justice looks bleak every passing day,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Jammeh said despite efforts made by the TRRC to airlift people like him to Turkey for treatment with the support of the Turkish Government, he still feels serious pain.<\/p>\n

\u201cI will continue to fight for my fellow victims because if I stop fighting, they will not forgive, so no one can silence me,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

He expressed disappointment over the IEC\u2019s decision to hold the parliamentary elections during the weekend of April 10\/11. \u201cWhen it comes to the victims, they don\u2019t care,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
