NIA Urged to Close Down ‘Bambadinka Torture Chamber’

In an open letter addressed to Numo Kujabi, Director General of the National Intelligence Agency, the opposition-GMC leader frowned at widespread use of torture against detainees at NIA.

“Gambian courts have found evidence of torture perpetrated against suspects in their judgments,” Mai Fatty said.

The lawyer-turned politician added: “I speak with impeccable authority that a systematic practice of torture is now incontestable.

“According to media reports on suspect testimonies, over 90% of NIA detainees had alleged some form of torture, and some of the worst brutalities were alleged to have taken place at ‘Bambadinka’.

“Mr Director-General, I call on you to put a stop to the torture of suspects under your custody with immediate effect. Mr. Director-General, close down Bambadinka as a torture chamber.”
