BANJUL - The Gambian government on Sunday denied that three protesters were killed during a demonstration demanding the departure of president Adama Barrow, and banned the group behind the protests.

"Not one person was killed during today's protest," said government spokesman Ebrima Sankareh in a statement. It added that the government considered the anti-Barrow group "Operation Three Years Jotna" a "subversive, violent and illegal movement".
