The problems of Sanna Camara in Gambia:

We put together a hashtag #FreeSanna on Twitter. The Gambian
government seems to be prosecuting him for reporting on child
sex trafficking in Gambia.

The hope at the moment is that publicity and a social media
campaign could help him. Last year the twitter storm about
Makaila Nguebla when he was expelled from various countries
in West Africa Senegal helped him get political asylum in
France, rather than being repatriated to Chad.

Sanna is a journalist in Gambia. He is active on-line and has
provided information about Gambia blocking Viber and access
to Tor downloads.
