IRB – Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada (Autor)
Current information on the National
Convention Party could not be found among the sources consulted by
the DIRB. The following information may be useful, however.
Political activity in the Gambia has been
banned since the current military government seized power in 1994
(Europa 1995, 1272). No information was found to indicate that the
ban on political activity in the Gambia has been lifted.
This Response was prepared after
researching publicly accessible information currently available to
the DIRB within time constraints. This Response is not, and does
not purport to be, conclusive as to the merit of any particular
claim to refugee status or asylum.
