A case involving 95 Libyan military cadets arrested at a suspected secret military training camp in Mpumalanga, South Africa, has been reopened following an "urgent requisition" from their legal representatives. The accused were last seen in court on August 6, but their case was postponed to August 26 for further investigation. However, on Thursday morning, Mpumalanga police spokesperson Col Donald Mdhluli announced that the case was back in court. The National Prosecuting Authority in Mpumalanga spokesperson Monica Nyuswa stated that the appearance was due to a requisition tabled by the lawyers of the accused. During the postponement, the men staged a protest demanding their return to Libya and demanded food and cigarettes. All the men are represented by Adv Nico du Plessis, who was instructed by a Cape Town-based law firm. The case is expected to resume this morning.
