The Sierra Leone Police at last freed opposition leaders Dr. Dennis Bright and Mrs. Femi Claudius Cole from detention yesterday after pressures from the United Nations, the international community and the one or two civil society groups not yet tribalized and won over by the SLPP junta. The opposition leaders have been ordered to report to the Criminal Investigations Department ( CID ) everyday until otherwise directed.
They were arrested on Sunday on allegations of incitement , a day before Monday’s national protests against the Maada Bio junta.
