The ruling marks the court’s first major decision affecting free speech since the 2017 transition of power from long-time ruler Yahya Jammeh to current president Adama Barrow.
Hukumu hiyo ni maamuzi makubwa ya kwanza ya mahakama ambayo yanaathiri uhuru wa kutoa maoni tangu mwaka 2017 ambacho kilikuwa kipindi cha mpito wa madaraka kutoka kwa mtawala wa muda mrefu Yahya Jammeh kwenda kwa Rais wa sasa Adam Barrow.
