[Foroyaa] The National Assembly Human Rights Committee and Constitutional Matters has called for the expungement of sentences with hard labour in The Gambia. The committee opined that people convicted should not be forced to do a job that they are not paid for because it is enslavement and as such, they called for its removal from the Gambian laws. The committee made the proposition during the consideration stage of the criminal offences bill last Monday at the august body's plenary session.
