Police have dropped charges against protesters of the 3-years Jotna movement, reliable sources close to the case told this medium.

The ant-Barrow protesters where arrested in May around the Senegambia strip when they staged a demo calling on the president, Adama Barrow, to honour his pledge to Coalition partners and the nation and step down at the end of the three years agreement in December 2019.

The protesters were arrested, according to police, for illegal assembly as they didn’t have permits to stage a protest. They were charged for breach of peace and later bailed while their case files were transferred to the prosecutors offices.

The arrests of the protesters drew lots of criticism from human rights and pro democracy activists that it was heavy handed.

In the meantime we could not reached the police PRO for comment.
