URGENT ACTION
AT LEAST 39 PRISONERS AT RISK OF EXECUTION
The Gambian government has confirmed the execution of nine death row prisoners by firing squad.
The individuals were taken from their cells the evening of 23 August and executed shortly after. The
Gambian government should immediately halt any further executions and impose an official
moratorium on executions.
There are growing fears that at least 38 people remaining on death row are at imminent risk of execution following the
Gambian government’s confirmation that nine death row prisoners were executed by firing squad and its public
commitment that executions will continue.
