Justice Simeon Abi 

Alhagie Abdoulie Ceesay, Radio journalist

We reported last week that High Court Justice Simeon Abi, in the case of radio journalist, Alhagie Abdoulie Ceesay, reported sick, as he habitually does. as a means of delaying cases that the dictatorial regime of Yaya Jammeh have interest in.  Today marked the journalist's 222 days in prison without bail foe an offence that is bailable.

In the past cases have been adjourned because the judge excused himself because he had to attend a meeting or was attending a workshop.

When he decided to show up for work today, he again denied the radio journalist bail for an offense that is bailable.  He said in the past that the accused will flee the jurisdiction of the court should he be bailed.

The judge is aware of the serious nature of the journalist's health condition.  He sustained an enlarged liver, feared to have been sustained while under severe physical and mental torture at the hands of the regime's tortures.

Judge Simeon Abi, acting under orders of the Deputy Public Prosecutor, a fellow Nigerian, who is the puppet of Yaya Jammeh, apparently has decided to keep an innocent young man behind bars.

These mercenaries figured that since the case has exploded in their faces by exposing the regime for the corrupt and incompetent judiciary it is maintaining that serves the interest of one-man i.e. Yaya Jammeh, they can continue to keep the journalist behind bars indefinitely.

They have apparently decided to keep Alhagie Abdoulie Ceesay for as long as the public continue to tolerate such behavior for the regime and the judiciary or until he dies in their hands from wounds, and an enlarged liver sustained at the hands of the regime.
