In a letter to the UNHRC he also says that his son had stated that he is unable to reveal such details to the Commission to Investigate Allegations of Bribery or Corruption (CIABOC) as he is being detained by the Counter Terrorism Investigation Division (CTID) of the police who are also connected to requests for such bribes, and he fears the withdrawal of even the minimum facilities afforded to him while in detention.
