Malick Jones Released on Bail

Tuesday, September 25, 2007

Malick Jones, the Principal Producer at GRTS, was on Friday granted bail after spending almost two weeks in the remand wing of Mile 2 prison.

Mr. Jones has now reportedly fulfilled the bail requirement imposed on him by the law.

It could be recalled that Mam Sait Ceesay and Malick Jones were jointly charged with the offence of communication of code of words contrary to section 4 (1A) of the official security act cap. 1701, 1990.

The particulars of offence state that the two accused persons between 5th and 7th September 2007 in the city of Banjul communicated or gave information to a foreign journalist which is harmful to the security of the state.

They were since granted court bail in the sum of D200, 000.00 with sureties who must meet the bail requirements.
