Hmmm Freedom of Press... Isn't that a must for a 'just' nation???

Just looking to put a link to the Freedom Newspaper in The Gambia for that last post and it seems that the Government has shut down their website and threatened to shut down the paper if they don't stop writing about the government.

There's been a lot of prosecution of journalists in The Gambia recently - it seems the Government doesn't like all their nasty deeds to be put out there for the world to hear. Blocking a website allows them to stop the international audience from reading what's really happening in the country.

Not really the sign of a democratic nation is it?

Check out http://allafrica.com/gambia/ for news stories from The Gambia - however some of these are written by government influenced news agencies.
