Twenty-one years into the Muthanga tribal agitation that culminated in police firing that claimed two lives, the accused tribespeople are still entangled in legal proceedings.
The trial proceedings have been dragging on in various courts for the last two decades. Eleven accused have passed away. The deceased were dropped from the list of accused and proceedings were initiated against the others.
The tribespeople are facing charges of murder, attempt to murder, trespass, rioting, arson, unlawful assembly and preventing the government officials from discharging their duty among other charges.
