Soliders in court

Court allows bail for Komo soldiers

Deputy Defence Force judge, Justice Allan David granted the 11 applicants bail today on the ground  that the Military Police holding facility’s cells were unfit to continue holding the 11 men.

The decision comes today after a bail application was moved on Saturday (Jan 9).

Basing the decision on humanitarian ground,  Justice Allan David was satisfied with the officer’s lawyers’ application that the cell block was inhuman and unfit for human occupation.

The 11 officers have been kept at the nine-man Military Police holding facility since Dec 28, 2015.
