On November 21, inmates at Coronthie Central House were angry at the “closure of many of their cells since the day before and the blocking of all movement within the prison. » In the cell, they shout and bang the doors, as a sign of protest.
The attack on Coronthie Central House by a commando on November 4 to extract inmates Moussa Dadis Camara, Claude Pivi (on the run), among others, led to draconian security measures in the prison and its surroundings. Among which, we learn, the closure of all cells “until further notice”. This was taken on November 20, following an attempt to introduce a cell phone by Boubou Tawel Camara, a gendarme assigned to securing the Coronthie Central House.
“The prison guards got hold of a gendarme who put a telephone in the bread, in order to give it to an inmate in his cell. He was intercepted at the door and placed at the disposal of the National Director of the Prison Administration. The manager had not informed the Minister of Justice. But, later, he sent him the image of the gendarme,” explains a source to Mediaguinee.com. On the morning of November 21, the source continues, the national director of the Prison Administration had the prison guards replaced by gendarmes. “So, until the moment I speak to you (12 p.m.), the cells are closed, the inmates are revolting. They haven’t had breakfast, yet there are some sick people among them, others would like to make themselves comfortable. Impossible. There is no entry or exit,” confides our source who requested anonymity.
Alphonse Charles Wright, the Minister of Justice and Human Rights, visited the Central House of Coronthie on November 20. Taken by surprise by this umpteenth disappointment in less than twenty days after the famous escape from the Central House, he ordered the attorney general at the Conakry Court of Appeal to initiate legal proceedings against gendarme Boubou Tawel Camara. Who will be prosecuted for alleged acts of ”attempted violation of the secrecy of the instruction, abandonment of post and violation of instructions”.
“Constituted offenses”
“Indeed, in the escape procedure at the Central House opened by the Military Prosecutor’s Office, Lieutenant-Colonel Ahmed Tidjane Diallo, gendarme, was placed by the pool of investigating judges of the Permanent Military Tribunal of Conakry in accordance with the Article 235 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, to prevent any fraudulent consultation with the alleged perpetrators and co-perpetrators. To facilitate this consultation, Boubou Tawel Camara, assigned to secure the perimeter of the Central House, abandoned his post to enter the Central House, to try to put a cell phone in the cell of Lieutenant-Colonel Ahmed Tidjane Diallo », Specifies the letter.
The minister considers that the facts described “constitutive of the aforementioned offenses requiring rigorous application” of the government’s penal policy through legal proceedings.
Charles Wright struggles to rid the Central House of its illegal habits (introduction of drugs, telephones, etc.), despite its surveillance cameras and its injunctions for legal proceedings. Refoundation, where are you?
