PRESS RELEASE
Freetown, Sierra Leone, 7 March 2007
The body of Sam Hinga Norman was handed over to family members today after being returned to Sierra Leone from Dakar, Senegal.
Mr. Norman’s body was flown by helicopter from Lungi International Airport to the United Nations headquarters in Freetown, arriving just before 1:00 p.m.
In a brief but solemn ceremony, Special Court Registrar Lovemore Munlo, SC and a representative of the family signed a document which formally handed the body over to family members.
Mr. Norman was taken to Dakar last month for a routine medical procedure which is not available in Freetown. The procedure was performed successfully on February 8. On February 22, Mr. Norman collapsed in his hospital room. Doctors attempted unsuccessfully to revive him.
