Viresh Raghoenandan

Viresh Raghoenandan is a defense attorney involved in a high-profile case in Suriname, where he represents a military man accused of sexually abusing his 11-year-old stepdaughter and transmitting the HIV virus to her. Raghoenandan has argued that the accused has faced challenges in accessing adequate psychological treatment due to systemic failures within the mental health care system, and he has requested that the court consider a more lenient sentence, labeling the proposed ten-year prison term as 'disproportional'.
