Bintu Tunkara, daughter of Lamin Tunkara, who she never got a chance to meet, looks at a picture of him on her phone. Her mother Adama Conteh was seven months pregnant with her when Lamin was murdered. He was the only Gambian among a group of over 50 Ghanaians and other West African migrants bound for Europe in 2005 by the sea. The group were detained, and then systematically massacred by Gambian security forces, on the orders of President Jammeh, who feared that the migrants were coup plotters. Adama said “I searched everywhere - Mile 2 prison, all the prisons, and police stations. He loved me and he took care of me”. Adama searched for over a year, she would not accept that he was dead. One Ghanaian, Martin Kyere, who was with Lamin, escaped and is the sole survivor and vocal activist in the campaign to bring Yahya Jammeh and his cadre to justice.
