{{Issa Hassan Sessay is serving a 52 year prison sentence for war crimes and crimes against humanity he committed in Sierra Leone. <\/p>\n
Sessay was transferred to complete his sentence in Rwanda\u2019s Mpanga International Prison Facility.}} <\/p>\n
However, Sessay complains that he is not satisfied with the quality of service offered to him at the prison especially saying he is served poor meals.<\/p>\n
Recently he interucted with Ugandan students from Makerere University who visited Mpanga International prison after visiting Butare Prison in the southern province of Rwanda.<\/p>\n
The students were conducting research on among other things, the lives of prisoners in Rwanda. <\/p>\n
Sessay told the Ugandan students, \u201c iam imprisoned on many counts of crimes against humanity and war crimes. I will spend 52years in this prison. However, I don\u2019t know whether UN knows the kind of life am living here\u201d.<\/p>\n
He added, \u201cIam living a better life than those who committed crimes in the first world war. The Rwandan prison wardens are respectiful all the time.\u201d<\/p>\n
However, Sessay complains that he is served incomplete meals. For example on 9th April, I was served milk, fried beans,bread. I was not given an egg yet iam supposed to have one everyday.<\/p>\n
On 12 April they told me that I would find a good meal accompanied by good water but instead I was served Coca-Cola. The prison exxergerates a lot, the promise me salad but later serve me just a small portion. <\/p>\n
Everyday they give me a book to sign indicating whether I have been served the desired meal. <\/p>\n
Sessay told the students that he is now tired of daily eggs served to him, daily beef and roasted G-nuts.<\/p>\n
He also complained about being denied to make telephone calls to his wife on Sunday saying he is only allowed access to such calls for six days of the week. <\/p>\n
Why do the prison authorities give me Newspapers from East Africa and not West Africa? They give me; East African, Daily Nation, Daily Monitor, New Vision and Nouvelle \u00c9poque.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
