Sierra Leonean convicts treated well – UN Court

The United Nations Special Court for Sierra Leone has said that Sierra Leonean war crimes convicts serving their sentences in Rwanda were being treated in accordance with international standards. The affirmation was made by the court’s Outreach and Public Affairs Chief, Peter C. Andersen, in an email message to The New Times. He was reacting to claims published in Sierra Leonean newspaper, The Exclusive, alleged that the prisoners wanted the court to review their detention conditions because they were being treated badly, and instead relocate them to another country to complete their prison terms.
