Hawa Hunt, a dual citizen and social media influencer, has been detained in Sierra Leone after criticizing the president and first lady. Originally arrested live on a reality show, she faces charges under the Cybersecurity and Crime Act 2021. Despite claiming in a forced video apology that she was treated well, her daughter reports severe prison conditions, including poor nutrition and possible abuse. Advocates worry about Hunt's mental and physical health, with repeated bail requests denied and concerns that officials may be mishandling her case.
Alicia Hunt described her mother facing health concerns in prison, stating, 'My mother said all the food there makes everyone sick. People would rather starve than eat it.'
Hawa Hunt expressed fears about her well-being during a phone call, replying to her daughter's question about abuse, 'Oh yeah, we are regularly hit in here.'
