Prison conditions are life-threatening. For example, relatives of Mamadami Sheikh Abdurahman (killed in late August in Hurumu district, Illubabor – see above), his father and three brothers, were later reported to be among villagers ‘suffering from beatings, hunger, thirst and various diseases in prison for months’ (ONM). They were reportedly being denied visits from friends and family, preventing them getting food or money to buy food. Wives of detainees are at risk of abduction. For example, Amina Tarafa was taken by the administrator of Imboro village, Darimu district, Illubabor, while her husband was in detention (ONM).
