Friday 15th of June 2007 Phil ya Nangoloh (lerft) and his National Society for Human Rights facilitated a press conference in Windhoek, where Vincent Siliye, 38, (right) announced that he would be demanding compensation after the acquittal some two weeks ago in the Caprivi high treason trial. His co-accused, Vincent Sinasi, 47, could not make it to the conference because of transport problems. Both were acquitted after Deputy Prosecutor General Danie Small conceded that the prosecution had not succeeded in prioving its case against the two men. On 30 July, Acting Judge John Manyarara is expected to give judgement on the other 10 men who stood trial in the “second Caprivi high treason trial”. On Wednesday, Siliye related how he was “abducted from Botswana by Namibian officials. Phil ya Nangoloh claimed that the two were never warned about their rights according to the Namibian Constitution (Art. 7). Throughout the press conference, Siliye stressed that he was “a Caprivian” and that Caprivians feel intimidated since they could not claim that Cap[rivi was “totally different” to Namibia. |
