These days, Mansour, the warden of Abu Salim Prison, is very troubled. The recent large-scale jailbreaks in other prisons have caused shock. The unity government has strictly ordered other prisons to be under martial law, and he was forced to tighten security. This is the second best. There have been frequent wars recently, and this prison is specially designed to hold war criminals, and some extremists are also sent here. These prisoners are not fuel-efficient, and they often go on hunger strikes to protest.
Warden Mansour felt that he was suffering from internal and external troubles, and his temper was out of control for a time. He seriously doubted whether he was under too much pressure and had psychological problems.
Just when he was irritable, the guard captain outside came in and reported that an investigation team from the United Nations Human Rights Organization was here.
"What? The United Nations human rights organization?" Warden Mansour frowned, "These are some troublesome guys. What are they doing here?"
¡°I don¡¯t know, maybe they are here to investigate whether there are serious violations of human rights such as torture of prisoners.¡± The guard captain replied, ¡°They have official documents from the United Nations.¡±
"Whose permission do they have? What kind of place do they think this is, and they can come and go at will? UN officials have no such right, this is Libya." Warden Mansour said angrily.
The captain of the guard quickly stopped him, "Warden, please keep your voice down so that no one can hear you."
"So what if you hear it? Tell the guards at the door not to let them in! If they dare to talk too much, we will arrest them all." Warden Mansour pounded the table and shouted loudly.
The guard captain waved his hands quickly, "This is not possible, this is not possible, they are accompanied by peacekeeping force guards. Besides, it is very troublesome to conflict with United Nations officials. These representatives are either British, American or French. Do you really want to detain them?" This will be a big trouble for them, and it may cause a diplomatic incident, and we won¡¯t be able to explain it at that time.¡±
"Then we can't let them come here casually." Warden Mansour frowned.
"Otherwise, you meet them first and don't let them enter the prison area, just in your office. Just explain to them that this is a state of emergency and you must get permission from your superiors to visit the prison. Guarantee them first, and then call them Call Mr. Minister. If Mr. Minister disagrees, there is nothing they can do. The most they can do is go to Mr. Minister, and they will have nothing to do with us." The guard captain whispered.
"Well, take them to my office first." The warden said helplessly.
After a while, several people walked in from outside. One of the Arabs stretched out his hand to shake the warden's hand, "Hello, we are investigators from the United Nations Committee against Torture. My name is Mubaan, and these are my colleagues."
"Hello, hello." Mansour reached out and shook his hand.
"The situation is like this. Some time ago, 400 people escaped from prison in Tripoli. There is a saying from the outside that these prisoners suffered inhumane treatment in prison, and such a serious prison break broke out because they could not bear it anymore. This incident The matter has attracted great attention from international human rights organizations. The warden must also know that the human rights situation in Libya has deteriorated after the war. We would like to take this opportunity to understand the situation of this prison and hope that Mr. Warden will cooperate." Yelena told Man Warden Suer said.
"Slander, absolutely slander. Our prison is very humane. The conditions in all aspects can be said to be the best in Tripoli. We have always fully respected the basic rights of the prisoners. These prisoners have always been very supportive of me as the prison warden. Chief. There has never been any torture or other inhumane punishment methods in our prison. These are all well known, and our prison here is a model prison." Warden Mansour said quickly.
"That's why we want to visit your prison and use it as a preliminary consideration of the human rights of Libyan prisoners." Lin Rui said.
"Oh, it's an unlucky time for you all to come. In normal times, of course we can allow all observers to visit freely. We have nothing to hide and nothing to keep secret. After all, these prisoners are serving their sentences here normally. Although they They are prisoners, but they are equal to us in terms of personality. They have not suffered any unfair treatment. Unfortunately" Warden Mansour rolled his eyes and shrugged with some embarrassment, "You are not here. At that time, you were catching up with the martial law order issued yesterday. According to the order, I cannot allow you to visit the prison without the permission of the superior commander. I am really sorry."
"Oh? By the order from your superiors, do you mean Mr. Salah, the Minister of Justice of your country?" Lin Rui looked at him and smiled, "I have met with Minister Saleh, otherwise you can call him and ask for instructions. .¡±
Warden Mansour was slightly startled. He originally wanted to take the opportunity to evade, but he did not expect this United Nations observer?? Actually knows Minister Salah. This made him a little embarrassed.
"Uh, everyone, please have a cup of coffee. Wait a moment and I'll call the minister." Warden Mansour could only pick up the phone and dial. "Hey, Mr. Minister, I have a United Nations investigation team here. .¡±
"The human rights monitoring agency is the United Nations Committee against Torture." Lin Rui corrected.
¡°Uh, yes, an assessment team from the United Nations Committee against Torture, they want to visit our prison to assess the human rights situation of these prisoners.¡± Warden Mansour could only reply.
Minister Saleh was surprised when he heard this, "He is really from the United Nations delegation."
"It should be so. They have documents with the signature of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights." Warden Mansour said in a low voice, "They are also protected by a group of blue helmets from the peacekeeping force. It must be true. Many foreign countries People, Arabs, a Chinese and a Russian woman.¡±
Minister Saleh said nervously, "You stabilize them first, I will be there soon."
"You came in person?" Warden Mansour said in surprise.
"Of course, you don't understand the seriousness of the matter. It can be big or small. The United Nations is organizing ceasefire negotiations among all parties. If there is a prisoner abuse scandal in our prison at this time, we will be in big trouble." Minister Saleh While gesturing to ask his assistant to help him clean up, he said nervously, "Especially, Abu Salim Prison. You also know that it was because of the massacre of prisoners in this prison that Gaddafi aroused public dissatisfaction and gradually collapsed. of.
You must not cause any trouble for me. If something goes wrong, it will be equivalent to giving the opposition an excuse. We will also lose a lot of initiative in ceasefire negotiations. No one dared to openly support the executioners and the thugs who tortured prisoners. Just like no one dares to openly support those extremists. You hold them steady first, I'll be there soon. "
