In light of recent court decisions regarding custodial sentences for petty offences, Restorative Justice for Africa Initiative (REJA Initiative) organized a knowledge sharing session to shed light on the legal position regarding such sentences.

In our efforts to promote justice and advocate for fair treatment within the legal system, REJA Initiative hosted a live knowledge sharing session titled “Understanding Custodial Sentences for Petty Offences: the Position of the Law”. This session aimed to provide clarity on the legal framework surrounding custodial sentences for minor infractions and to discuss the implications of recent court rulings on this matter.

During the live session, legal experts and practitioners delved into the intricacies of the law, offering insights into the factors considered by the courts when determining custodial sentences for petty offences. Participants had the opportunity to engage in discussions, ask questions, and gain a deeper understanding of the legal principles at play.
At REJA Initiative, we remain committed to promoting restorative justice practices and advocating for reforms that uphold the rights and dignity of all individuals within the legal system. Through initiatives like the knowledge sharing session, we aim to foster greater awareness, dialogue, and action towards achieving a more just and equitable society for all.
