Austin Sheridan MSYP for Glasgow Govan is to attend a vigil for seven Gambian journalists who are being held in captivity for trumped up charges against them for criticising the Gambian Government. Austin says "I believe that people who are born into this world have an entitlement to basic human rights, This in my view is in breach of a human right as all people should be allowed to criticise the Government that is in charge of their country, The Press should always remain independent" The vigil will take place in Glasgow, Buchanan Street at the Donald Dewar statue between 8am-4pm. All are welcome to attend.
If you have any questions for Austin please e-mail him at: austin.sheridan.msyp@sypmail.org.uk and he will get back to you as soon as he can.
