A lawyer for a messenger at Foroyaa newspaper has on Wednesday urged the Kanifing Magistrates Court to acquit and discharge Mass Kah who is standing trial on a charge of sedition.
 

On January 29, defence counsel Lamin S. Camara filed a no-case-submission to the Court. 

He said there is no need to call a defence witness because the accused is charge under the criminal laws of The Gambia – to which the prosecution has failed to prove its case beyond reasonable doubt.
