All systems go for treason trial

All systems go for treason trial

THE newly renovated building in which the first Caprivi high treason trial is set to resume in Windhoek today following a seven-month hiatus was inaugurated by the Minister of Justice and Attorney General, Pendukeni Iivula-Ithana, yesterday.

The building was a disused entertainment hall on the grounds of the Windhoek Central Prison. In extensive renovations, the hall and its annexes have been transformed into a second High Court building in Windhoek.It will accommodate the treason trial, which had been held at Grootfontein until it ground to a halt because of a fatal car accident in which the trial’s three-member prosecution team was involved on March 29.The courtroom will be used afterwards for other trials involving larger than normal numbers of accused people, Iivula-Ithana said yesterday.In extensive renovations, the hall and its annexes have been transformed into a second High Court building in Windhoek.It will accommodate the treason trial, which had been held at Grootfontein until it ground to a halt because of a fatal car accident in which the trial’s three-member prosecution team was involved on March 29.The courtroom will be used afterwards for other trials involving larger than normal numbers of accused people, Iivula-Ithana said yesterday.
