A 17-year-old Guinean boy, Mamadou Djouma Bah, has died in prison after being convicted of exam fraud earlier this month. Bah was arrested and sentenced to jail time following accusations of cheating on an exam. His father has spoken to the BBC, revealing that his son suffered from sickle cell anemia. The father alleges his son’s death was due to complications stemming from his pre-existing condition, exacerbated by his imprisonment. Details surrounding the specific circumstances of the death and the conditions of detention remain unclear. This case raises questions about the treatment of young offenders and access to healthcare within the Guinean prison system. The family is seeking answers and justice for their son’s untimely death.
