Ray Cole is apparently sleeping on the floor of Marrakech central prison.
This is Ray Cole, a retired magazine publisher from Deal in Kent.
You may have noticed that I have been absent from Facebook for a few days. Many of you who know me will know that my father came out as gay a few years ago. He had been holidaying in Morocco with a Moroccan friend and sadly has been arrested and charged with being gay. He has now been sentenced to 4 months in the central prison in Marrakech. Life is pretty bleak in there, they are served boiled vegetables once a day and his cell is a dorm designed to sleep 44, however since there are 60 men in there my 70 year old father sleeps on the concrete floor. The prison does not segregate, so he is sharing with murderers, rapists, paedophiles etc.
He has since shared photos of the prison.
On September 18 the pair were approached at a bus stop by police officers, and were detained on the grounds of suspected homosexuality...
Both Mr Cole and Mr Jam Wald Nass were sentenced to four months in prison on October 2, when police searched Mr Cole's mobile phone and found a photograph of the two men together, which was used in court as 'proof' of homosexual acts.
