An intolerant and vindictive government

After 16 years in the country, Salbany, one of the finest legal minds in the country, was thrown out of the country like a piece of garbage. His sin is holding a different view from the ruling clique. Salbany’s work and residence permits expired in November last year and was not immediately renewed by the Immigration Department for reasons that were not made public then. Following the development, Salbany was forced by the circumstances to leave the country, with the hope that eventually sanity will prevail and he would be issued work and residence permits.

It is clear now that sanity did not prevail. At the recommendation of the country’s spy agency, the Directorate of Intelligence Services (DIS), Salbany’s work and residence permits were not renewed. Reason? He is a security threat.  How is that possible that after 16 years studying and later practising law in the country, Salbany is suddenly a security risk?
