A seal products company owner accused of illegally trying to export seal genitals from Namibia has been granted bail in an amount of N$50 000, after spending two months in custody. Chinese citizen Hou Xuecheng (48) was granted bail in the Windhoek Magistrate's Court at Katutura on Friday. Magistrate Wilka Amalwa ordered that Hou should surrender all of his travelling documents to the police officer investigating the case in which he was arrested nearly nine weeks ago and that he may not interfere with state witnesses or the investigation of his case while free on bail. Hou and a co accused, Zhang Xianming (44), were arrested at Hosea Kutako International Airport on 7 January. They are charged with a count of possessing or dealing in controlled wildlife products, with the state alleging that they had 40 parcels of seal genitals in their possession without having a permit allowing them to possess the items.
