Ramzia Diab was a dedicated public servant & mother of 5 and tortured for her opposition to Jammeh’s regime. Yet even after surviving such horrific abuses, she remained devoted to her country & dedicated her life to serving her nation. ⬇️

Demba Dem, a devoted public servant, activist & father, was arrested & tortured by Michael Correa & other Junglers for defending journalists & the rule of law in Gambia. Now in exile, Mr. Dem dedicates his life to ensuring that Jammeh-era crimes don't go unpunished. ⬇️ @trialinternational.bsky.social
