Today, senior lawyer and United Democratic Party (UDP) National Executive Member Borry S. Touray is being questioned at the Gambia Police Force Headquarters in Banjul after remarks he made at a recent political gathering drew police attention.
A police water cannon vehicle is positioned outside the headquarters as UDP supporters and other sympathisers gather to express their frustration, many arguing that his comments were taken out of context and misrepresented by political actors and the state broadcaster in a way they believe unnecessarily escalated the situation.
Politician Alhaji Mamadi Kurang, a former Secretary to the Janneh Commission, reacted publicly after visiting the scene, posting on Facebook: “What’s happening to Borry, I just came to police Headquarters, barricades everywhere. A policeman told me he is not inside?”
Supporters are also questioning why Touray is being interrogated, pointing to remarks made at some National People’s Party (NPP) rallies that they say were also derogatory, yet have not attracted similar police action.
