Mr. Sillah described Tuesday –The Day Paul Kamara was released–as the happiest day of his life . “Thank God for justice “, he went on. I am overwhelmed with joy. First of all, thanks to the Almighty God for Paul and all organizations around the world who came to his defence for the injustice he suffered for nothing. ..He was unjustly treated , but delightfully, he has been exonerated by the judicial system of a government of the very President who took him to court.”, Mr. Sillah continued.

Mr. Sillah said he was assuring all journalists that the days of the abuses of journalists in Sierra Leone were coming to a close. He promised that under a government controlled by the NAPD, no journalist will be incarcerated for writing on the shortcomings of the government.

It must be recalled that only two weeks ago, Mr. Sillah wrote President Kabbah a strong letter asking him to forgive Paul Kamara and have his sufferings at the Pademba Road put to an end.
