40 Prisoners Died In Gambian Jail House!

"Prison Official Blames The Deaths To "Lack of Balanced Diet and 
Medication."

The General Manager of the Sindolla Hotel in Kanilai, President Jammeh's own 
hotel  has been arrested by the NIA. Mr.Lamin Sanneh has been missing from 
his family for a week now, without charges brought against him, well placed 
state house sources revealed today. Efforts made by his family to access him 
at the NIA were blocked by the NIA, who at this hour are denying holding 
Sanneh. But NIA insiders told the Freedom Newspaper that Sanneh was in their 
custody.The circumstances surrounding his arrest is unclear at this hour, 
but our National Correspondent Landing Badjie is investigating the story. 
News also just came in about the death of 40 inmates at the Mile Two Central 
Prisons. The deaths were blamed to lack of balanced diet and access to 
proper medical treatment. A prison official who spoke to this paper says the 
prison had never witnessed such a high magnitude of death toll since its 
formation. The official says most the death prisoners suffered a great deal 
prior to their demise as they complained about stomach pain,chest pain, 
constant vomiting among others. A British detainee told our reporter that 
thanks to the British High Commission in Banjul he was provided with medical 
attention. The British inmate describes the lodging conditions at the Mile 
Two as appalling and inhumane. Prisoners we gathered, are not fully fed 
these days and  access to medical attention is hard to come by. Since the 
March alleged abortive coup, the government has tighten security at the 
prisons. For more on this story, stay tuned.
