Africa-Press – Gambia. <\/strong><\/span>The former leader of the All Peoples Party, Dr Ebrahim Jagne has expressed mixed feelings on the arrest and detention of UDP campaign manager Momodou Sabally.<\/b><\/p>\n

Commenting on the saga on Tuesday, Dr Jagne did not condone his arrest, but he also said that Mr Sabally shouldn\u2019t have said what was said in the video.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m saying that if that video is really true, he shouldn\u2019t have said that,\u201d the former head of Lamin Health Centre told. \u201cAnd if he had said that, then they should question him, rather than detain him. Everyone has a right to say what they feel. Like for example, I would say anything, but I wouldn\u2019t go as far as saying that this government is going to be removed by force. That\u2019s my personal opinion, even though I stand for human rights. If the government or the law thinks what Sabally said has violated the law, he should be questioned. It\u2019s a very sensitive area when you talk about taking power by force. I don\u2019t think anyone should be saying that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dr Jagne said what the police should have done, instead, was to question and let him walk away while they investigate the matter.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf they later find anything, they can take him to court. But [holding him] all this while I think that\u2019s not right. I think they should release him,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

In a democracy, Mr Jagne went on, no one should threaten the use of force or resort to subversive actions to change a government.<\/p>\n

On the alleged coup Dr Jagne said: \u201cCoup d\u2019e\u0301tat is not good for anything. Democratic process is the solution for the way forward. From all indications, it looks like there was an attempted coup. The government arrested some people and I think they will be taken to court.\u201d<\/p>\n
