AN inaccurate headline slipped into a report that was published on page 3 of yesterday’s edition of The Namibian under the heading ‘Court asked to acquit suspect’.
In fact, a reading of the report will show that no acquittal of ailing Caprivi high treason suspect Fabian Samiyasa was asked for by his defence counsel, Winnie Sithole Mwenda, in the High Court last week. Sithole Mwenda in fact asked Judge Elton Hoff to order that Samiyasa, who is severely ill according to doctors’ reports provided to Judge Hoff, should be transferred to Katima Mulilo so that he can be closer to his family.We apologise for the unintended error.Sithole Mwenda in fact asked Judge Elton Hoff to order that Samiyasa, who is severely ill according to doctors’ reports provided to Judge Hoff, should be transferred to Katima Mulilo so that he can be closer to his family.We apologise for the unintended error.
