1. Foroyaa Editorial;

Published July 22, 2014

Prisons are public institutions. They must operate according to law. No one should be incarcerated in a prison without a Law providing for one’s committal. Any detention of a person without abiding on such a law would be considered as unlawful detention and false imprisonment.

In the same vein when a prisoner dies prison authorities are duty bound to subject the death to a coroner’s inquest for confirmation of the cause of death. Such inquest is done in public.

Section 6 (1) of the Coroners Act states: “(1) When any person dies while in the custody of the police or of a prison officer or in prison or when detained in any place under the provisions of the Lunatics’ Detention Act, or of the Criminal Procedure Code,the police officer or prison officer or other person having the custody or charge of the deceased person at the time of his death shall immediately give notice of the death to the nearest Coroner and,except as otherwise provided by section 11,

such Coroner shall hold an inquiry into the cause of such death in the manner herein after provided.”

Foroyaa has been bombarded with questions of the death of a high profile prisoner and we have been able to say that no coroner’s inquest has taken place on that score.

We hope this would be sufficient to lay the story to rest. However, if the rumour persists Foroyaa will conduct an investigation and report its findings just as it did in the case of the Minister of Works.

2. Connecting the dots with related Freedom News Reports 23 July 2014;


3.On June 18, 2014 Foroyaa reported "WHERE IS COMMISSIONER OF PRISONS, THOMAS JARJU? Missing For 14 Days" from Related Bantaba topic;

"Connecting the dots with related Freedom News Reports 23 July 2014;"

It is now apparent that the rumors HAVE persisted.


" However, if the rumour persists Foroyaa will conduct an investigation and report its findings"

"Simple is good" & I strongly dislike politics. You cannot defend the indefensible.

I have not seen any update on this anywhere ( I may have missed it,) in the 6 days that have now passed since The Freedom Newspaper published their story.That surprises me.
