Yesterday, Sierra Leone's Supreme Court summarily convicted lawyer & blogger, @Soe_Marrah, for criticising a decision of the court in a #socialmedia post. The circumstances of this case are so outrageous, it is necessary to tell the story

Following @Soe_Marrah's post, the Supreme Court extraordinarily issued a #benchwarrant suspending his rights of practice before courts in Sierra Leone & suspending the arrest of lawyers in court premises. They declared him #WantedDeadOrAlive
The irony is that this order was issued on the same day that Sierra Leone's @PresidentBio abolished the crime of criminal defamation in Sierra Leone.
The only people who failed to notice were the Justices of Sierra Leone's Supreme Court.

THREAD - MY VIEW ...............
Vast majority of the public join the Police Force to protect the public and do a very good job of it. You will always get ''bad apples'' in any organization. They need to be weeded out and thrown out.
Years ago I was mugged twice and two men walked into where I worked and stole my handbag. I had my Birth Certificate in my handbag, as I was joining a Pension Scheme that day, so I was extremely upset. On each occasion I phoned the police straight away.
