MOGADISHU, Somalia — A young woman identified as Sadia Moalim, a bajaj (three-wheeler taxi) driver in Mogadishu, has reportedly been detained for a second time after publicly criticizing Somali President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud.
According to sources, Sadia Moalim was arrested following her remarks against the president, raising serious concerns about freedom of expression and the treatment of civilians who voice political opinions.
Reports further allege that during her detention, she has been subjected to inhumane conditions, including being held for seven consecutive nights, stripped of her clothing, and denied access to food. These claims, if verified, would constitute serious violations of both Somali law and international human rights standards.
The case has sparked outrage among segments of the public, with critics arguing that the arrest reflects an abuse of power and suppression of dissent. Human rights advocates are calling for:
Immediate release or fair legal process
Independent investigation into the alleged abuse
Accountability for those responsible
This incident comes amid growing scrutiny over detention practices in Mogadishu, where reports of arbitrary arrests and mistreatment have been increasing.
