Somalia supreme judge arrested

Fri. September 21, 2007 06:54 pm.-

 

(SomaliNet) The judge of the Supreme Court in Somalia and one of the court lawyers have been arrested on Friday after he was alleged for corruption, local official said.

 

Yusuf Ali Harun and lawyer Mohamed Nor Shegow were kidnapped by government soldiers from his house in Baidoa, 250km northwest of the Somalia capital Mogadishu and taken into the Criminal Investigation Department in the capital this morning.

 

Local sources say the federal government ordered the detention of the country’s supreme judge.

 

Many parliament members condemned the arrest of the judge as illegal and in violation of human right law.

 

“We absolutely condemn the move by the current government in which it arrested the country’s general attorney and we are asking for his immediately,” said Ali Jama, one of MPs.

 

The public prosecutor was charged of making corruption to the salaries of the court’s employees.

 

The transitional government did not comment on the arrest of the supreme judge so far.
