Somalia: Parents ask for release of their Islamist prisoners
2007-02-16
(SomaliNet) The relatives of the Islamist suspects that Kenyan government had extradited to Somalia government have asked on Thursday for the release of their beloved ones. The Islamists prisoners were reported to have been transferred into Ethiopia where they were put on jail located in Hawasa, Ethiopia.
Which is not exactly Club Gitmo ...
The family members who talked to the local media expressed concern over the condition of their sons. Ahmed Mohamed Moalim, a father of one the prisoners suspected of links with Somalia’s ousted Union of Islamic Courts argued that his son was innocent. “My son was not one of the Islamists. He was a mechanic and he was helping people whose car has broken down somewhere close to the Kenyan border. There he was mistakenly apprehended by Kenyan police, who handed him over to Somalia’s transitional government and it transferred to Ethiopia,” he said.
Just a pious auto mechanic with a wrench and a rifle ...
In the wrong place at the wrong time.
He implored the Somali government to let him know the condition of his son. “I am very worried about the circumstances surrounding my son today” he said. Mr. Mohamed called on the international and local human rights activists to encumber the issue and try to assist how the innocent prisoners would be discharged from prison.
Because if you want anything done you first have to encumber the issue ...
Earlier, Kenyan government had deported over 70 suspects in connection with the ousted Islamists to the Somalia capital Mogadishu where they were handed over to the transitional government.

#3  If he's an auto mechanic, he'd better have a hell of a lot of wrenches, my estimate is that I have somewhere around 300, and that's not nearly enough, I'm always needing some odd tool or two because the manufacturers change things every year/model or so, whatever tools worked on 2006 models will usualy not-work on the 2007's etc. since i've been doing this since 1963 I have a lot of tools that are unusable today, but I need them just often enough (on older cars) that I can't just throw them away.
