CEPO opens free legal centres, contracts lawyer for vulnerable people CRN Tuesday, August 29, 2017 - 16:54 Community Empowerment for Progress Organization or CEPO has opened eight legal aid centres free of charge for vulnerable people who cannot afford tohire a defend lawyer, says Executive Director.
Edmond Yakani says the centres are in Torit, Wau, Yambio, Terekeka, Yei, Juba and the organization also plans to open another in Tonj. Some people stay longer in prison because they do not have money to hire lawyers to defend them, he adds. Yakani urges people to utilize the centres. The activist spoke to CRN during a roundtable workshop on the national legal aid services. -- To post to this group, send email to [email protected] To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [email protected] Visit this group at https://groups.google.com/d/forum/southsudankob View this message at https://groups.google.com/d/msg/southsudankob/topic-id/message-id For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/d/optout --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "South Sudan Info - The Kob" group.
