No Longer a Suspect, But Still a Detainee (washingtonpost.com)

I should make a Britney Spears joke here, but I will demur.

This is a weird and disturbing case. Jean-Tony (?!) Oulai is a native of the Ivory Coast, and a Catholic; he's been in custody eight months. He's been ordered deported, but the government won't release him. It appears he's being held basically for being a foreign flight student.

I understand that the government is trying to be careful. But I, personally, am not happy about a country that holds people prisoner for no reason, and Oulai is hardly the only one.
