Somaliland Justice: A Toy In The Hands Of The Government And An Embarrassment
|
Here we go again. Somaliland government has shown one more time that the justice system is a toy in its hands that it can use anyway it wants any time it wants. The latest example of this is the Hargeysa regional court’s request that Haatuf journalists show for trial. Any court system that is worth the name usually delivers a court summon to the defendants. Hargeysa’s court did not do that. Instead it announced in the radio. Furthermore, the summon is supposed to mention what the person is being charged with and who is the plaintiff. The announcement neither mentioned what the case against the defendants is nor who is the person making those accusations.
