Gov�t files notice to oppose asylum seekers� case

The AG representing the department of immigration and citizenship and officer commanding Botswana Prisons, FCII has filed a notice to appeal the judgement in a case in which 164 asylum seekers and their dependants are demanding to be moved from the FCII to the Dukwi Refugee Camp.

In its notice of grounds of appeal, the AG says it is dissatisfied with the entire judgement and order delivered by Justice Phadi Solomon on July 7 and it will appeal to the Court of Appeal upon grounds that the detention of the petitioners (present respondents) at the FCII is declared illegal.
