Judiciary issues message to police over NaneNane protests

The judiciary has urged police to adhere to the constitution while discharging their duties during the NaneNane protests.

In a statement on Wednesday, August 7, the Judiciary Leadership Team (JLT) also asked the protestors to uphold the law during the demonstrations.

“The Judiciary Leadership Team (JLT) urges protestors and security agencies to adhere strictly to the constitution and the law when engaging in the protests or discharging their mandate of law enforcement,” read part of the statement.

It further noted that courts will remain open on Thursday, August 8, and assured court users that the Judicial Police Unit will ensure their safety.

“To uphold the constitution, the Judiciary Leadership Team has resolved that courts will remain open, all considerations of safety and security taken into account, and will, as much as possible, leverage technology and virtual courts to ensure continued dispensation of justice,” JLT stated.
