At least 27 protesters and two journalists were arrested on Thursday, May 8, 2025, in Banjul, the capital of The Gambia, during a peaceful demonstration organized by the civic group Gambians Against Looted Assets (GALA). The protest targeted the controversial sale of properties and businesses formerly owned by ex-president Yahya Jammeh, amid growing public concern that the assets are being sold at prices far below market value and distributed in a non-transparent, politically biased manner. Arrests were made across various locations across the capital, and detainees were released over the weekend.
