Reports also circulated about Bashir, who was forced to step down in April after mass protests against his rule, having his meals delivered to him from outside the prison.

Last Thursday, during a visit by a delegation from the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights to the Koper Prison, Bashir complained to the delegation about mosquitoes. He is being held in a room with two beds and an en suite bathroom.
