The Somali Transitional Federal Government has on Monday displayed to the media 4 young boys whom their hands and legs were mutilated by the Al-Shabab saying that they were robbing people.

Each of the 4 boys had his right hand and left leg chopped off, and told the press that they had not committed any fault, but their rights were deliberately violated.

“The rights of these young boys were deliberately violated, and they were not given spare time to defend themselves, or to have lawyers and this is absolutely against the wide Islamic Sharia law and the international law as well” said Sheikh Abdurrahman Janaqow the Somali Justice Minister.

The names of the boys who were handicapped are as follows:

1-Jeylani Mohamed Abdukadir.

2- Ishmael Khalif Abdulle.

3-Ali Mohamoud Ali.

4-Abdikadir Abdi Duluhow

Somaliweyn radio asked some of the boys how the event has happened.

“I am a man with 6 kids and their mother, I was the bread winner of my family the Al-Shababs have accused me of working in a certain hotel where Somali government officials were staying” that is how I have missed my precious body parts” said Jaylani Mohamed.

“I was a student in one of the schools in Mogadishu, and I was accused of being a member of the Somali government soldier, and that is how I missed my valuable right hand and left leg” said Ishmael Kahlif who was the youngest boy among the 4 boys.

The young Ishmael has also added that when their hands and legs were hack off of they were taken to a certain filthy house in the neighbourhood, and were not provided with all the essential human needs.

“We have been saved and brought here into safe and merciful hands of the Somali government by one of the Al-Shabab boys who were keeping guard on us” added the young Ishmael.
