Govt loses in ARV case- again

Justice Terrence Rannoane has dismissed another case in which the government countered the contempt of court application by Botswana Network on Ethics, Law and HIV/AIDS (BONELA) with an application for stay of execution. BONELA had received the same result from Rannoane a week before on a related case.

When dismissing the application last week, Rannoane noted the case was only motivated by one foreign inmate, Gift Mwale, who had taken the government to court for failing to comply with Judge Bengbame Sechele’s court order.
