A 17-year-old Guinean student has died after being jailed for using a mobile phone to cheat during a national high school examination, according to his father's account to the BBC. [1]
Mamadou Juma Ba was arrested on July 15 after using his phone during the national secondary school exit exam. [1] He was sentenced to six months imprisonment, with five months suspended, requiring him to serve one month in custody. [1]
During his detention at a prison in Kindia, a city approximately 137 kilometers northeast of the capital Conakry, Ba's health deteriorated due to complications from sickle cell disease. [1] He was transferred to a regional hospital where he spent around two days before being discharged to his home, where he subsequently died. [1]
His father, Mamadou Saliou Ba, told the BBC that his son's final words in the hospital were, "Dad, I am going to die." [1] The elder Ba has attributed his son's death to insufficient medical care during imprisonment.
Education Minister Alpha Bacar Barry expressed profound sadness over the incident and offered condolences to the family. [1] Human rights organizations have called for an independent investigation into the death, while students have staged protests demanding the release of detained classmates. [1]
