White River Raid | Lawyers defending 95 Libyans nationals claim they are not treated well

Lawyers representing the 95 Libyan nationals claim the men are not receiving a good treatment at the Barberton Correctional Facility and want them moved to Nelspruit Correctional Facility, in Mpumalanga.

91 of them were kept at the Barberton Prison, while the remaining four are in police custody in White River.

The foreign nationals appeared briefly before the White River Magistrate Court.

The men were arrested two weeks ago at a military training facility.

They obtained their visas irregularly in Tunisia through misrepresentation.

Their case has been postponed for further investigation.

Government should deport them and investigate home affairs and the farm owners
Who issued the visas?
Who facilitated the training?

[ActiveSide-udnh]

Why waste tax payers money keeping them in custody, deport this people and deal with the farm owner and the business man mentioned?

[thembindlela]

Tell their lawyers to go claim rights in Libya, this is South Africa stppop this hypocrisy

[AlbertusMBezuidenhout]

Who trained them?...Who financed this project? Who in Govt knew about this?

[thobanigumedemargin]

Halaal food in what this is South Africa baba n this is Jail

[nielwillemse]

Where is the owner of the farm. This justice system has become treasonous.

[eunallmaharaj]

Who is paying their legal fees...the donors must be traced as well...

[ronascott]

I hope my instinct is wrong; terrorists. In the north of Mozambique ISIS is rife and killing Mozambique citizens, mainly Christians. This training camp is very close to our border with Mozambique.

[florisbrand]

How well would Libyans have treated south Africans had the positions been reversed but the people that facilitated all this are the real one's that should be investigated

[francisgathumbi]

These are Hooligans! Why should they even get preference as to their so called Halaal food????
This not Libya or a hotel.
Let the law take its course.
Why they thinking of Halaal food when inside that military camp of
Would they have done this in their own country????
They committed the crime in SA and they should be convicted in SA and jailed here.

[mabaker]

These guys shouldnt be in court. The politician /minister that ok'd their presence should be interrogated!!!

[Moyopheus]

Is it a violation of a prisoners rights if he cant go to church on a Sunday because of his incarceration? It would be absurd to think that, therefore religious dietary requirements should also be forfeited given tue nature of the xrimes they have been accused of. There must be no exceptionalism fir terror groups operating on foreign soil so brazenly

[blackrhythmrecords]

Deport them zidenge yhoo lilizwe elitheni eli limathe kangakq

[pietervanbreda]

That's why you don't find any lawyers in heaven.

[goodbarbenie]

This pure B.S. as the owner of the farm and these riffraff illegal immigrants should be jailed for life as for facilitating insurrection, murder, mayhem and chaos in the country...Why should these people be trained in South Africa they've got their own country to train in... But it just shows how treacherous South Africa has become...with no rule of law, truly a Gangsta State.😢😮😢.

[vuyelwaafrica]

If prisoners have rights then, prison as punishment for crime has lost its effectiveness and the correctional services dep has become too politically correct

[christienodendaal]

Why did they come here? I mean....why are they entitled to complain about prison provisions for them, ?

[mamelodiSAnews]

😅and south africans still say free muslims aka palastine, what a joke of a country..

[mtetelelimrwetyana]

SA free for all even Hamas was hosted by the former ruling party

[heinmadsen-leipoldt]

What?! They want halaal food? Since when is SA prisons a restaurant? They're not even citizens of SA but they want to move to another prison? If our own citizens are sentenced they go where they're sentenced too by the judge, wow life is lekker 8n SA
