Bring Ashley Tierney back home

We are Foreign Prisoners Network, an organization that helps foreign prisoners who are under extreme circumstances held in long remand.

Today, we are raising 25.000 GBP for Ashley Tierney. Ashley is 36 years old and was found in 2018 in the Airport of Mauritius with 215 grams of heroin in his body system.

Ashley was forced to bring the drugs into Mauritius as one of his friends has a debt problem with local criminals. His friend had to bring the Heroine into the country but as Ashley was with him at the moment they threatened his friend, he was forced to bring Heroine into Mauritius as well.

The moment they arrived at Mauritius Airport, they informed Mauritius Customs at the airport about their situation and were convinced they would help them out of this story. Unfortunately, the opposite came to the reality of their worst nightmare.

Ashley is an intelligent gentleman and has several certificates in the technical supply of the construction industry. Ashley is married and has a son of 8 years old.

Today Ashley is held in remand within the prison system of Mauritius. He is now detained for over 3,5 years without any further investigation or without even lodging his case in front of a judge.

Every 21 days, his remand is extended by a judge who has no information about the case at all but simply extends the remands with another 21 days for every prisoner who comes in front of her.

In the meanwhile, during the past 3.5 years, Ashley is heavenly physically tortured by the officers in charge. Hit by 10 prison officers in charge while Ashley was cuffed with hands and feet, 6 weeks sleeping in a dark room under a stroboscope and without any food or water.

He has no access to toilet paper, clean water or even warm water to take a shower.

The prison system of Mauritius is wellknown for extreme long remands without any form of trial. Ashley is detained in the High-Security Prison System of Melrose. The only place where they held foreigners separated from the community! There is no daily program and even education is forbidden by the prison commissioner.

Today, we are trying to get Ashley out of this inhumane prison system, to get him back with his family and to end a long and unfair trial by financing a lawyer specialized in narcotics and human rights.

As Mauritius has signed several Human Rights agreements with Amnesty International, The United Nations for Human Rights and Treaties and the African Commission of Human Rights, we are fighting to get the case of Ashley to be struck out as an immediate result of the many physical and mental tortures which are during till this moment.

We are raising 25.000 UK Pounds to finance his case and his lawyers and as well as to finance his deportation back to the United Kingdom.

We are happy with any donation as well as your support!
