Magistrate Linus Samunzala has acquitted activists Michael Amushelelo and Dimbulukeni Nauyoma of all charges, citing poor quality and multiple contradictions in the evidence of state witnesses.

Amushelelo had spent close to seven months in incarceration since his arrest for independence this year.

A movement calling for the immediate release of arrested activist Michael Amushelelo is growing on social media.

Amushelelo was arrested on Namibia’s 33rd Independence Day.

In a recent parliamentary session, the Popular Democratic Movement's (PDM) MP, Inna Hengari, expressed deep concern about the increasing violence against children in Namibia.

In simple terms, violence means hurting someone on purpose, either physically or emotionally.
