The Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) has hailed Baba Hydara, the co-publisher of The Point Newspaper and a right advocate for visiting its office in New York, U.S.

CPJ is an American independent non-profit, non-governmental organisation, based in New York City, with correspondents around the world. CPJ promotes press freedom and defends the rights of journalists around the world.

“Thank you again for making time to visit the CPJ office! Our team was extremely moved to hear about your family's fight for justice and to learn about the legacy of your father's journalism in The Gambia, CPJ states in message to Mr Hydara. 

“Going forward, please don't hesitate to reach out if you or your team at The Point have media requests for us,” it added.
