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.

Arrested activist Michael Amushelelo appeared at the Katutura Magistrate Court on Monday, and lawyer Kadhila Amoomo, who is representing Amushelelo, announced that the state continues to oppose bail after his client's arrest.

Lawyer Kadhila Amoomo has announced that they will not be pursuing the bail application for Michael Amushelelo. Instead, the legal team will focus on the bail application for Dimbulukeni Nauyoma. The two lawyers are providing pro bono representation for the activists.

Dimbulukeni Nauyoma and Michael Amushelelo, prominent social justice activists, are set to formally apply for bail before the Katutura Magistrate's Court following their recent arrest during a peaceful demonstration against the high unemployment rate in Namibia.

Parliamentarian Inna Hengari was granted bail of N$ 5 000 in the Katutura Magistrate's Court on Friday after her arrest during the protest against unemployment along with activists Dimbulukeni Nauyoma and Michael Amushelelo. They were arrested on Tuesday.

The Police Chief, Lieutenant General Joseph Shikongo, has denied a request by the Namibia Economic Freedom Fighters (NEFF) to stage a nationwide protest against high unemployment in the country on Independence Day tomorrow.

The victims of the alleged 'whipping for loans game say they had to keep up pretense to put food on the table, though it was humiliating.

A subtle Twitter war is brewing between activist Michael Amushelelo and AR frontman, Job Amupanda.

The Inspector General of the Namibian Police, Joseph Shikongo, has denied a request by the Namibian Economic Freedom Fighters (NEFF) to hold a protest along Independence Avenue in support of striking workers of the Windhoek Municipality.

Government attorneys have responded to lawyer Kadhila Amoomo after he wrote to President Hage Geingob and demanded the suspension of the Police chief, Lieutenant General Joseph Shikongo.
