Prisons in Africa are far below acceptable
international standards
African prisons are far below acceptable
international standards and those who are imprisoned still live in poor
conditions, Commissioner Med S.K Kaggwa, the Special Rapportuer on Prisons and
Conditions of Detention in Africa said on Wednesday.
Kaggwa’s presentation on April 10 is part of the Activity Reports of
Special Mechanisms of the African Commission on Human and Peoples’ Rights
(ACHPR) to which he is a member. The 53rd Ordinary Session of the
ACHPR is hosted by The Gambia from 9-23 April, 2013.
