The 28‑year‑old inmate who was allegedly raped by three other inmates gave his evidence before High Court Judge Justice Achala Wengapulli today.
The man told the court that three people held him outside the washroom at the Suva Corrections Centre and punched him.
He told the court that he was tied up and punched again before the alleged rape took place in a dormitory.
The inmate informed the court that he recognises the faces of the accused.
He says the first accused was known as Black, he does not know the name of the second accused while the third accused was Sefton Tupou.
It is alleged that the incident happened at about 6pm on November 2nd 2012 when the standby was done - this is after the physical count of the inmates.
