Judges Rescue Cartoonist From Over-Zealous Court Official

Botswana Gazette cartoonist Albert Lekgaba was apparently in the process of seeing his cartoons confiscated and his person removed from the court during a trial last week, when the judges presiding over the matter Lekgaba was covering interceded on his behalf. This is one of those "there it is" stories, as I can't really link to a wider issue or suggest future action on the part of any of the actors, but it's a nice anecdote and well-told. Good for those judges.
