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.https://www.amnesty.org/en/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/whoweare_2944x1224_header.jpg1178490
