The next day, he was taken to Boroko Police Station, where he remained until 8 March, when he was transferred to Bomana. He indicated that the detainees held in the section were “forgotten people”. He was not allowed any visitors or correspondence. He added that detainees were forced to crawl from the gate when they first arrived, and they were usually beaten by the officers. However, he noted there was hardly any inter-prisoner violence because the punishment was increased confinement.

During a joint operation by the police and the correctional services on 23 February 2010, he was detained, told to lie face down inside his home and was shot on the right shin by Corporal Martin Kundu, because he was an escapee. He was then taken to Six-Mile Police Station and later to the hospital, where he spent two hours and was only given antibiotics.

On 12 January 2010, he was picked up from his home in Waigani by police and taken to Boroko Police Station. Four police officers (MOSIC) in blue uniform beat him on his knees and chest with a police baton and punched him in the face. They punched him on the jaw trying to force him to say something he did not know. Before he was charged, they gave assurances that if he provided the information the police needed they would release him. He repeated that he did not have any information. He was kept in Boroko for eight days and taken out for a one hour interrogation each day to the CID Robbery Squad office; each time he was asked questions and punched in the face. He was charged after seven days. On 20 January 2010 he was taken to Waigani Court. On 21 January 2010 he was sent to Bomana main compound and kept there for 17 days. On 7 February 2010 a commander ordered that he be taken to maximum security. The maximum time in maximum security should be 3 months. He went to court on 24 February 2010, and Fred Tamon was the presiding magistrate. He asked for a lawyer to defend him and Mr. Kimoi explained that he did not have a lawyer as he has been locked up in maximum security. The court ordered the Correctional Services to provide him with a lawyer; but they have not. The court was adjourned until 11 June 2010. Detainees provided complaints but with no results. Detainees cannot express themselves as they fear reprisals including an extension of their term of imprisonment. 33
