African warlord in UK prison begs to be sent abroad as he’s terrified of catching Covid
AN African warlord serving 50 years in a British jail for war crimes is begging to be sent abroad – because he is terrified of coronavirus.
He is serving his sentence alongside criminals such as Yorkshire Ripper Peter Sutcliffe, Soham killer Ian Huntley and Milly Dowler murderer Levi Bellfield. Taylor reckons the health crisis means the UN rule that “no one in prison should fear for his or her physical safety" is not being met. And he said his fears of contracting it have been "aggravated after it was confirmed that two of the prison inmates in HM Frankland Prison have been infected" and there have been "reports of deaths of prison inmates in prison/detention centres across the UK.
She added that the "World Health Organisation has not declared any place in the world safe from COVID-19.”The former Liberian rebel leader was convicted of war crimes for helping to fuel the civil war in neighbouring Sierra Leone.
