The petition in question asks the “President to reform the Police of Somaliland; to subject the police to the jurisdiction of the civilian courts; to pass laws and procedures making the Police accountable;and to reform the organization of the Police and restructure it to make it compatible with the Constitution of Somaliland in order to eradicate the Police practices inherited from the military government of Siad Barre”. So far hundreds of people signed the petition.
Human Rights Centre calls on the government to immediately drop the charges against Guleid.
