Barre imprisoned Abshir for over a decade at Labaatan Jiro prison.
Evidence
At this point Hussen realized that Barre was gunning for revenge against Abshir for his supposed haughtiness, and within a short time Hussen’s suspicion was confirmed. Abshir was detained again and sent to the infamous prison named Labaatan Jiro, where he remained for over a decade. In an ironic twist of events, Abshir was incarcerated with Egal, whose government had prosecuted him. — Abdi Ismail Samatar, Africa’s First Democrats, 1057
