Amnesty International believes there is a real risk of reprisals against Gambians who seek to engage with the upcoming UPR examination for Gambia. The organization is alarmed at the deterioration of the situation of human rights in Gambia since its UPR examination in 2010. This year, Gambia unilaterally postponed the visits by the Special Rapporteur on torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment and the Special rapporteur on extra-judicial, summary or arbitrary executions.
