The causes for the autumn that led Paul Maillot Rafanoharana to lose consciousness for round thirty minutes within the dormitory of Tsiafahy jail, on the night time of May 6, stay mysterious. But the accident determined her daughter, Elise Maillot, to get out of the reserve to which she had hitherto been destroyed in order to not hinder the approaches taken so as to acquire the switch of her father in a French penitentiary institution, underneath the judicial cooperation agreements which bind the 2 nations since 1973.
The former gendarme, to the twin French and Malagasy nationality, was sentenced to twenty years in jail for alleged tried coup, with the design of assassinating President Andry Rajoelina. He has been imprisoned since August 2021, in Antananarivo.
On Monday, May 19, a petition was launched to alert on the degradation of the state of well being of the previous Saint-Cyr Officer, and request his launch. “After staying almost 3 years with the strictest isolation in a cellar, in the dark, without access to toilets, and without being nourished by prison, it was recently placed in a overcrowded, unsanitary dormitory, and in which its safety is not guaranteed. His health is today in a state of extreme degradation ”, writes Elise Maillot. The exit permission requested by the French Consulate to carry out a medical scanner was refused by the penitentiary establishment.
