DETENTION WITHOUT TRIAL PERSISTS
Detention without trial of political opponents, former civil servants, former security officers and former close associates of the president has continued unabated. The persons listed below are still being detained and are yet to be brought before any court of law to face any charges they have purportedly committed. In fact the security forces are yet to comply with a high court order to release Master Tamba Fofana of Kudang Lower Basic School. The ruling was made on 28 December 2006.
Family members of some of the detainees also claimed that they do not have access to their loved ones. The detainees are:
