The ruling made on Wednesday, comes after two HIV positive prisoners took government to court demanding access to HIV and AIDS treatment in spite of being non-citizens of Botswana.
Botswana has been denying non-citizen prisoners the life-saving treatment on the basis of citizenship.
The international and local civil societies have applauded the court ruling. (PANA/NAN)
