“I am deeply concerned about the fact that Hon Job Sikhala is seriously ill in Chikurubi Maximum Prison,” stated Nero. In particular the fact that he has blood in his stools is a very serious condition which requires urgent and expert medical attention which is denied to him at present.”

Denial of Bail and Fair Trial

Chamisa emphasized that Wiwa is a well respected politician and respected lawyer, that denying him bail since June last year is not fair. He underscored the injustice of Sikhala’s prolonged detention despite not being a convicted criminal.

“This would be bad enough if he was a convicted criminal,” stated Advocate. “But he is an opposition politician and respected lawyer who has been denied bail and a fair trial since June last year.”
