The Gambia: 'We are crying for justice'

The regime of Gambia's former president Yahya Jammeh has been accused of extrajudicial killings, torture and arbitrary detentions.

Mr Jammeh denies the allegations, and refuses to cooperate with the Truth, Reconciliation and Repatriations Commission, which is investigating the alleged human rights abuses.

But the commission's report into the abuses has been delayed for a second time, and it hasn't set a new date for it to be handed to President Barrow.

And now the party of President Barrow has gone into alliance with the party of exiled former leader Jammeh, and other parties, ahead of presidential polls on 4th December.

Many Gambians fear it all means justice will never be secured. The BBC spoke to some of them.
