The parliament speaker has said that he was refused to visit the lawmaker in detention but has written to letters addressed to agencies that have put the legislator behind bars.
According to Mr. Bashe, Somaliland’s house of national assembly speaker has argued that the first thing was to strip of the parliamentary immunity from hi,.
Mr. Mohamed Ahmed Dhakol was frogmarched whilst at his residence with his wife and children at night.
