“Prime Minister Mohamed Hussein Roble today received in his office members of Ikran’s family, including her mother Qaali Mohamud Guhaad, who had pleaded to the Prime Minister to meet with them in which the Prime Minister accepted. “They have filed a complaint against the challenges they say are facing the Prosecution of the Military Court, to move the case forward, and for an independent and fair investigation,” spokesman Maalimuu said in a statement.
The spokesman also said that Prime Minister Roble reiterated this afternoon that he would not negotiate in the Ikran case and was committed to getting justice one day, sooner or later.
