With the judgment 'Minister of Safety and Security and others v. Kennedy and another', the Supreme Court of Namibia addresses some relevant issues concerning the constitutional rights of detainees, in particular the principle of presumption of innocence, the right to visitation and the use of solitary confinement. The ruling is approached in the context of the Namibian legal tradition, which influences both the outcome of the decision and the 'style' of the ruling itself.
