Court bans violence, weapons and disguises at March and March protests
The Durban High Court has restricted March and March demonstrations, including the carrying of sticks or imitation firearms and the wearing of face coverings, while police allegations of planned violence are tested in court.
Pertaining to a recent development in Bukit Mertajam, three Myanmar children have been granted bail after a High Court overturned a magistrate's denial of bail. Initially, the children faced charges of criminal intimidation against a 71-year-old woman, allegedly using items such as a mop, an iron rod, a fluorescent light tube, and stones.
The magistrate had initially denied their bail request, but the High Court in Butterworth intervened, reversing the decision. Bar Council president Anand Raj expressed relief over the High Court's intervention, stating that the Bar Association was initially taken aback by the magistrate's decision to deny bail to the children. The case has sparked criticism from Lawyers for Liberty, who argued that the denial of bail was unlawful, as the offense was deemed bailable. The Bar Association intends to provide further updates on the case in the coming week.
