P2.9m DIS torture lawsuit in court

The case of a man who alleges that he was arrested, detained, interrogated and threatened with violence at the hands of Directorate of Intelligence and Security (DIS) agents will come up for roll call on June 20. The plaintiff Phillip Tlhage is suing the spy agency for P2.9 million.

In his court papers dated March 26, 2014, Tlhage through his lawyer Kabo Motswagole of Monthe Marumo & Co, wrote that it has been months waiting for delivery and service of the defendants’ plea. Due to the respondents’ failure to deliver their plea, Tlhage said his matter could not be brought to finality. “I am of the view that the above Honourable Court should enter the scene and bring the matter to finality,” Tlhage said.

The case is before Justice Abednico Tafa in Lobatse.
