Tales of torture in 'solitary confinement'

The letter, the name of whose author is known to Mmegi, is addressed to the Commissioner of Prisons. It accuses officers at the prison of being a law unto themselves.
When Mmegi called the Commissioner of Prisons yesterday, he insisted on a questionnaire, although he said he was not sure that their fax line was operational. We complied nevertheless, only to be told by the Commissioner's secretary that their faxes were not only down, the machines had been been taken for repairs outside the premises.
Subsequent attempts to speak to the Commissioner did not bear fruit because the secretary said he had gone to the post office. The letter in question is handwritten. In it, the author says he is a foreigner, although he does not specify his nationality. It is in two parts, the first of which is headed "Complain About Assault And Torture By Prison Officers".

The second part is headed "Discrimination, Assault And Torture By Prison Officers at Francistown State Prison".
