Fears for Belgian businessmen in Diepsloot prison
SA regime now facing lawsuit over atrociously unhealthy, overcrowded conditions at Diepkloof trial-awaiting prison:
Feb 4 2013. By Adriana Stuijt. Mr Dennis van Kerrebroeck, a Belgian/Canadian businessman illegally arrested on February 27 2011 in Kimberley, SA on trumped-up claims that he had ‘stolen’ a unique, flawless 68-karat diamond - faces the ordeal of a trial in Johannesburg Commercial Crimes court this week. This often-postponed trial which is causing so much agony to the imprisoned Belgian businessman, should never have taken place: court-documents show that he himself was the victim of an elaborate fraud around this diamond – and which played itself out across three continents: Southern Africa, North America and the diamond centres of Europe.With the continuation of this trial and this man’s imprisonment in the 250% overcrowded, filthy conditions of Diepkloof trial-awaiting prison near Randburg, South Africa is also abusing the human rights of this Belgian/Canadian businessman who fell into a cesspool of deceit, greed and government lies.
