Tear Gas and Water Cannons Deployed as Gambian Protesters Demand Release of Siblings

Tensions erupted in The Gambia as law enforcement agencies deployed heavy-handed crowd control tactics, including tear gas and water cannons, to disperse a public demonstration.

The rally was organized by citizens protesting the controversial rearrest of two siblings. Demonstrators took to the streets demanding the immediate release of the pair, only to be met with a swift and forceful response from the authorities.

The clash highlights growing friction between the public and security forces over the detention, turning what began as a vocal rally for freedom into a chaotic confrontation in the streets.
