Maya Foa, Director of Reprieve, said it was “a tragedy that it took so long to reach this point”, adding: “Ali Kololo’s trial was one of the most unfair imaginable. The imbalance of power in the courtroom was staggering, between the senior Metropolitan Police detective testifying for the prosecution and the illiterate defendant, being tried in a language he did not understand, without the aid of a lawyer for most of the trial.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reprieve’s petition<\/a> to secure Ali Kololo’s release was signed by over 11,000 supporters.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
