23 year-old Tunisian national Hamdi Nehmawi was handed a two-year jail term by Magistrate Gabriella Vella this morning, after he pleaded guilty to escaping from the Hal Far migrant detentention centre.
"I'm a young man who wants a decent life like others," the Tunisian told the Court through an interpreter.
He added that he has been held in detention in just a room with four other men. "I only see the four walls everyday and speak to no one," he said.
Nehmawi was stunned at the judgment, and resigned to his fate by lifting his hands to officers who cuffed him and escorted him to Corradino Prisons.
The Tunisian, was among a group of migrants who managed to escape from Hal Far last Sunday.

thinkahead, perhaps you should consider substituting the 'n' with a 'c' and dropping the middle 'a'. That would be more representative of the person making your comment.

what an absolutely idiotic comment. you're the same one who left an equally pathetic comment below the Chinese brothel article earlier, I don't know why people like you even bother to comment if you have nothing constructive to say.
as to your alias, you can't even think, let alone think ahead

Sending this guy to jail helps neither him nor Maltese society. Just send him back to Tunisia.
