Terra co-founder Do Kwon’s jail time in Montenegro shall be harsh: Report

Do Kwon, presently in custody in Montenegro and probably awaiting extradition to america or South Korea, will reportedly face harsh situations within the nation’s penal system.

In response to a March 29 Protos report, an unnamed felony protection lawyer said situations at Montenegro’s jails and prisons “haven’t modified” from these described in a 2020 human rights report from the U.S. State Division. The report cited a case during which jail officers had been convicted of torturing and “inflicting grievous bodily hurt” on 11 inmates in 2015, in addition to different “poor” situations in a few of Montenegro’s prisons attributable to overcrowding and lack of medical care.

Citing stories from the Council of Europe’s Committee for the Prevention of Torture, the State Division mentioned many prisoners had been confined to overcrowded cells for roughly 23 hours a day, with some stories of violence between inmates. Kwon may very well be dealing with “at the least a yr” in such situations as Montenegro considers extradition requests, relying on the outcome of his criminal case over allegedly cast journey paperwork.

“Rooms are 8 meters squared and really crowded,” the lawyer reportedly mentioned. “There’s about 10 to 11 folks in a room — there’s often not even a mattress.“

It is a creating story, and additional data shall be added because it turns into accessible.
