Mohamed Takes Prison Conditions Fight To High Court

Opposition Leader Azruddin Mohamed has personally sworn to allegations of cruel and inhumane treatment at Lusignan Prison, detailing what he describes as prolonged solitary confinement, restricted family visits and conditions that have left him isolated for almost the entire day.

In a 43-page affidavit filed on November 4 and reported publicly on November 6, Mohamed outlined the conditions under which he is being held, escalating the legal confrontation between his defence team and the Guyana Government over his continued detention.
