A Ghanaian prisoner in the Libyan capital, Tripoli, Hassan Abdulai, has expressed concern over the treatment meted out to Ghanaians in that country’s prisons.
Hassan Abdulai and 74 other Ghanaians were recently arrested in Tripoli at the zenith of the fight between the rebel forces and pro-Gaddafi fighters for control of the country.
Speaking via phone from his prison cell in Libya, Hassan told host of Adom TV’s morning show BADWAM, on Multi TV, Kwadjo Asare Baffour Acheampong that “we were arrested for no offense at all”.
According to him, “the government picked us up after the overthrow of Muammar Gaddafi. They called for officials of the United Nations Agencies who asked us if we wanted to go home and we responded in the affirmative. After assuring us we were going to be sent back to Ghana, they left. We didn’t hear from them after two days so I called and we were once again assured that they were going to come for us. The landlord became impatient and ejected us. It’s been a month now since the Police arrested us and put us in prison, no one seems to care about us”. Full story...
