Mr Oliver Hinckson has again been denied bail

Dear Editor,

Mr Oliver Hinckson has again been denied bail, and continues to be moved from one location to the next.

This sixty-four year old man with a known medical problem is continuously subjected to being shackled and taken into court in a most undignified manner.

Every time the defence raises issues of inhuman treatment being meted out to citizens, the police and the prosecutors claim that they are unaware of these incidents, and promise to investigate. Who is fooling who?

Yours faithfully,
Hamilton Green, JP
