Your Excellency,

Over the past one week, Uganda has experienced unprecedented violent protests caused by political differences between the government and the traditional kingdom of Buganda. It is not our part to apportion blame for the chaos that left scores of people dead.

However, we are deeply concerned about the government's assault on the fundamental rights to freedom of expression and press freedom in the process. Several journalists have been injured and key media shut down.

Excellency,

I am writing on behalf of Canadian Journalists for Free Expression (CJFE), a non-profit, non-governmental organization that works to promote and protect press freedom and freedom of expression around the world.

CJFE welcomes the statements made by the Prime Minister of Zimbabwe, Morgan Tsvangirai, in Harare on May 21, 2009, which outlined actions intended to "facilitate the opening up of media space."

Dear High Commissioner,

The Gambia should enforce ECOWAS court judgement: release Chief Ebrimah Manneh.

June 5, 2009 marks one year since the ECOWAS Community Court of Justice delivered a judgement on the case of Chief Ebrimah Manneh and The Republic of The Gambia (suit no. ECW/CCJ/APP/04/07) and one year since the Gambian government's refusal to comply with this decision.
