Legal aid lawyers save teenager held with adults
A 17 year old charged with simple robbery and remanded in an adult's prison has been released on bail. This followed the intervention of the Law Development Center Legal Aid Clinic. City Hall Court Magistrate Valerian Tuhimbise on Wednesday issued a production warrant to have Abdulrahim Joro brought to court from Kitalya prison on Thursday but bail was processed in his absence. He was granted non-cash bail of one million shillings. His two sureties were ordered to execute a non-cash bail of one million shillings and deposit their national ID cards and ensure the teenager returns to court on 2nd November 2020.
