"We have ascertained the magnitude of the massages sent by Nadra through her cell phone number to the various top Somaliland leaders including vice president, the presidency minister containing are serious personnel insults thus the retraction of our human rights support for her release" Mr. Bulale of Horn Africa Human Rights Watch Committee

The Horn Africa Human Rights Watch Committee better known widely as HornWatch says it has withdrawn its human rights campaign for Ms. Nadra Jama, after the HornWatch ascertained that she is not entitled from our organization human rights support because we believe that the massages she had sent to the others  are damaged their rights.

According to the Spokesperson of HornWatch Mr. Suleiman Ismail Bulale, the about-turn by his organization follows access to the SMS messages the lady sent to the several government officials including the vice president, the presidency minister and interior minister among others,  
the content of  the SMS massages sent by Nadra are against the Islamic faith, and individual rights.

"We have pulled back from our human rights support we have providing her as prisoner of consience" Says Bulaleh

As per the HornWatch which in partnership with a foreign Human rights body accessed (from Simcard provider) the messages send by Ms. Nadra to government top leaders and ministers, the campaign for her immediate release had to cease.

In a press statement the Horn Africa Human Rights Watch dog based in Hargeisa says that the SMS massage which Nadra M Jama sent to the minister stretch from late of December 2012 to early January 2013 are of an obscene nature apart from being anti-Islamic and uncultured.

The HornWatch which said it had embarked on the campaign for release of Ms. Nadra without relevant facts asked the government to see to it that officials are more cooperative with Human rights bodies thus deter continued maligning of the administration even when it is in the right.

Despite recanting support for Ms. Nadra's release, Mr. Bulale informs that his body shall continue to push for a fair hearing and access to visits by her (SMS lady) relatives and lawyers.
