A total of 10,940 prisoners are rotting in jail in various prisons around the country without trial. Hundreds of the prisoners have overstayed their remand for a period ranging from one to five years without their cases being heard in court.

 

Of the 10,940 on remand, 2,369 are on murder charges, 1,366 on robbery, defilement (3412), rape (389) which are capital offences only triable by the High Court. Ten prisoners charged with manslaughter and 3394 others on petty crimes like house breaking, theft, assault and trespass among others are also rotting in jail awaiting their trial.

 

 

Could this be the future for Somalis, if the TFG takes full control :confused:
