CrimeRe: 'they Electrocuted Me' Says Indonesia's Death-row Prisoner Nearing Execution by akpur1(op): 9:06pm On Jul 30, 2016

Crime'they Electrocuted Me' Says Indonesia's Death-row Prisoner Nearing Execution by akpur1(op): 9:03pm On Jul 30, 2016
[b]A Nigerian man facing imminent execution in Indonesia tearfully told a court that police electrocuted his genitals to force him to confess to possessing heroin.

Michael Titus Igweh is among several prisoners on death row whom lawyers and human rights groups are frantically lobbying to save from the firing squad amid claims they were tortured and their legal cases riddled with corruption, errors and miscarriages of justice.


"I was constantly beaten, and my genitals electrocuted until I was helpless," the clothes importer, who was sentenced to death in 2003 for possessing 5.8 kilograms of heroin, told the Tangerang District Court in May. "In fact, I was threatened to be shot."

Sources have told Fairfax Media the third wave of executions in Indonesia could be held within days. It is understood the Nigerian and Pakistani embassies have now been notified that their nationals are among those to be killed.

Indonesian Attorney-General Muhammad Prasetyo reiterated on Friday the executions would be "soon" and would include Indonesians and possibly a woman. Mr Prasetyo had earlier said prisoners from Nigeria and Zimbabwe would be among those targeted.

Indonesian human rights group Imparsial said an anti-death penalty coalition would present the staff of Indonesian President Joko Widodo with a list of about seven death row prisoners who had faced unfair trials and miscarriages of justice.

"It is very dangerous to carry out executions when the legal system is fragile and riddled with corruption, error, manipulation and collusion," Imparsial executive director Al Araf said.

The anomalous cases to be brought to the president's attention include that of Pakistani textile worker Zulfiqar Ali, who was sentenced to death in 2005 for possessing 300 grams of heroin, and Indonesian imported flour seller Christian, whose lawyer said he was wrongfully arrested and tortured.

Mr Ali's lawyer, Saut Edward Rajaguguk, said the Pakistani embassy and Mr Ali's wife had been notified that his client would be included in the third round of executions.

But he said the case against Mr Ali was absurd. "Zulfiqar Ali was not arrested red-handed carrying 300 grams of heroin at Soekarno-Hatta airport. He was arrested about three months later when spending time in Puncak with his girlfriend."

Mr Saut said the man caught with the drugs, an Indian national, had named Mr Ali as the owner when he was being beaten by police in the airport office. However he later retracted this during Mr Ali's trial.

"Zulfiqar Ali was also beaten up by police when he was arrested and forced to confess the drug was his. He was asked for money by the police but refused and so the case continued."

Meanwhile, the Supreme Court last week rejected an application for a case review into the case of Mr Igweh, the Nigerian clothes importer who claimed his genitals had been electrocuted.

His lawyer, Sitor Situmorang, told Fairfax Media that Supreme Court judges should try cases based on the law and not to achieve popularity or appear tough.[/b]

Northern Nigeria is just a step away from famine on a scale not seen for decades, according to the UN. Hundreds are already dying every day from hunger in a food crisis caused by seven years of brutal Boko Haram insurgency, and hundreds of thousands of lives now hang in the balance. Phoebe Greenwood reports from Maiduguri in Borno state and finds a humanitarian catastrophe that some in Nigeria don’t want the world to see

EducationUNIPORT Set To Reopen After Violent Protest by akpur1(op): 1:19pm On May 12, 2016
He said: “UNIPORT will be reopened for academic activities on Monday, May 23 to enable students pursue their academic dreams.

The University of Port Harcourt is to reopen for academic activities on May 23 after 43 days of closure, following a violent student protest.
The Deputy Registrar (Information) of the university, Dr. Williams Wodi, made the disclosure in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria in Port Harcourt on Wednesday.
Wodi said authorities of the university decided to reopen the institution to enable students pursue their academic activities.
He said: “UNIPORT will be reopened for academic activities on Monday, May 23 to enable students pursue their academic dreams.
“The first semester examinations will also begin on May 23 and end on June 18.
“The first semester break begins from June 20 to July 1, while second semester begins on July 3.”
On April 11, some students of the university protested over a “no tuition no examination” policy, which compelled defaulting students to repeat a whole academic session.
The violent protest led to the death of a final year student, Peter Ofurum, who was of the faculty of management sciences.
The protesting students destroyed property valued at millions of naira.
The students had demanded the withdrawal of the policy, which they argued, was unfair to poor students.
