UDP sympathisers in British Detension Centre

It has come to our attention that, two UDP militants are held in British immigrations centres. The one person we where able to trace is the former senior Agriculture department statistician Mr Koniagi Camara.
According to the media reports on the BBC Bristol, Mr Camara was arrested because of working without the requisite documents or right immigration papers. The news reports further states that, Mr Camara sentenced to five months imprisonment. Here a link to his case:

The UDP U.K has monitored the events very closely, but couldn't get access to Mr Camara earlier due to his transfer from one detention centre to another. However, UDP U.K quickly intervene to advise a Gambian newspaper from publishing the plight of Mr Camara. An independent Gambian U.S newspaper picked up the incidence of Mr Camara's jailing and published it. UDP U.K activist quickly advise the editor to take down the photo and news item because the stigma and repercussion of Mr Camara will be enormous but others did not oblige.
UDP is aware of the stringent immigration rules, hence Mr Camara's case can be thrown out as bogus without the proper investigation into the Gambia's political witch hunting. Mr Camara was a senior employee of the Gambian state, his department was brought under the President himself.
The agricultural department was disbanded and nearly all the employees were sacked and told to reapply. At this process long serving staff like Koniagi Camara were not re-employee. The process that the government use is total witch hunt and a lack of ethics in apportioning jobs. All those suspected of being opposition supporters are victimise and lay off. Mr Camara's error was not declaring this facts during his early days in the U.K we are made to belief.
His close relative such as Wassa Kamara, Kawsu Camara are all imprison for being part of two different coup plot. Wassa is in jail since 2006 and Kawsu's conviction is the latest in family misfortune of the Camara clan. Koniagi being an influence on this two jailed soldier for life, there is nothing stopping the regime summarily jailing him for advising his young siblings to be part of two different coups.
It was ill-advised of Mr Camara not to inform the British border authorities. The fear of deportation and detention compel decent educated qualified men like him to avoid the authorities. The UDP always advises it supporters to use the proper channels in solving their personal state. The Gambia is at a cross road, recently the President's loyalist are canvassing the country calling for him to be crown King. The lawlessness is unspeakable yet the British government as classify the Gambia as a safe country. This is a country where prisoners are poison who later die.
Mr Camara's membership of the biggest opposition party in the Gambia is not the only problem he will face, but his two close brother's involvement in military coup plots as well. He is a marked man and the UDP U.K hope that, he will be release and granted some protection status.
