Aaron Parker

Sierra Leone’s Chief Minister, David Moinina Sengeh, has provided an update on the status of political prisoners submitted by the opposition All People’s Congress (APC) for release under Resolution 4 of the Tripartite Agreement.

On X, Sengeh clarified that out of 318 names submitted, only 15 are currently in custody.

He explained that the remaining names fall into several categories: some of the individuals escaped during the failed coup attempt on November 26, while others have either completed their jail terms, paid fines, or were released based on court orders.

Furthermore, 51 names were identified as never having been in custody, and 9 names were duplicated.

This statement aims to address any confusion regardingthe status of the individuals listed for release.

SLPP is the main problem of Sierra Leone, I swear to God. They have succeeded in dividing this country, and they are still bringing issues.

I am tired with the disgusting lies about APC, if they are presenting list of APC prisoners and denied any involvement in the August unrest then it means they were behind it, so they should face an investigation l suggest.

God will soon bring his judgment on all those who have clear ideas about those prisoners especially those who might have been killed for no just cause

The illegitimate Chief Minister, Sengeh is playing with fire. All those mentioned in the prisoner's list have been in prison and there is evidence to substantiate this. All the killings in the prison is documented and they will be shocked when everything comes out. Evil people!
