Lawyers representing Affirmative Repositioning (AR) leader Job Amupanda have announced plans to request the recusal of presiding judge, Justice Uitele Shafimana, from the Red Line case.

Justice Uitele directed Kadhila Aamoomo to secure legal representation and return to court at 14:30 today to provide testimony regarding the recusal request.

The Red Line case, initiated by Amupanda, challenges the constitutionality of the veterinary cordon fence in a lawsuit against the Ministry of Agriculture.
