Foroyaa Online: HALIFA DENIED ACCESS TO VISITORS 13-03-09
Halifa Sallah who is facing trial and is remanded in custody at Mile 2 Prison has been denied access to visitors.
When his wife attempted to visit him on Wednesday, she was told by
prison guards that they were not yet given directives to allow her to
visit him. When she went there on the following day she was told that
such a visit was not possible till further notice. When Sam Sarr went
there yesterday he asked for an audience with the Director General of
Prisons. A prison warden at the reception who did not tell him there
and then that the Director General was out, took his details and
entered the prison yard. He returned after about 15 minutes claiming
that the Director General had gone out. Sam Sarr then asked to see the
Deputy Director General but he was told he was also out. He then asked
to see the officer next to the Deputy but the prison warden said that
that officer was also out. Sam Sarr indicated that someone must be in
charge and requested to see that person. The prison warden then went in
and after a short while he came with a Sergeant who refused to disclose
his name. When he put forward his request to see Halifa Sallah, the
Sergeant replied, “That is not possible, till further notice”.

Just sad and callous denying the wife of Halifa the right to see her husband. What a shameful act. But what do one expect from a bunch of criminals.
LONG LIVE HALIFA SALLAH!
LONG LIVE DEMOCRACY!
