Katy Clark, a British parliamentarian who wants a visa ban and asset freeze imposed on Gambian officials involved in rights abuse, said the postponement of the U.N. officials’ visit suggested Jammeh had something to hide, and the EU must act. “If the European Union is serious about protecting human rights in Gambia now is the time for action, we cannot allow the Gambian Government to believe it can simply continue with business as usual while routinely abusing its human rights obligations,” Clark told Thomson Reuters Foundation by email. “The next meeting with Gambia, foreseen in November, would be an opportunity to review the human rights situation more generally and decide on the way forward for our relations with the Gambia,” the EU Development Commissioners spokesman said. trust.org/item/20140812154240-kqium/?source=shtw
