Political prisoners’ relatives raising contradiction of the president’s assertions

Those political prisoners are currently being overlooked by the new ruling power empowered by a strongly challenged election by the end of 2013. The most famous ones of these prisoners are General Raoelina, number one in charge of presidential security under Marc Ravalomanana’s leadership, and Colonel Raymond Andrianjafy, main mastermind and leader of the uprising of the State Police’s Intervention Forces in May 2010. Apart from them, some other army officers politically supportive of Ravalomanana and linked with the shootout of February 7th 2009 which formally triggered the putsch, are still held behind bars. General Raoelina recieved an amnesty related to the BANI related case, but still serves term for the shootout of February 7th, in spite of a formal report which  rules every “cold blooded massacre” out. Acting president Hery Rajaonarimampianina declared in the run of a tour in the United States of America, that there would be no longer any political prisoner on the Great Isle. The relatives of those still being detained on political motivations do obviously wonder whether the new president is about to let these prisoners down, or merely taken by his own staff for a ride, for lack of accurate overview of the atual situation on the Great Isle. Many sources argue that the currently serving military leaders are deliberately hindering the release of the aforesaid officers as a matter of fact. Fair way to call the settlement of a dispute off between acting officers who served a late transitional ruling power and officers still serving terms for their loyalty to the ruling power ousted by the former ones.
