*** 186. The Court notes that the claim for US Dollars Fifteen Thousand ($15,000) being the "monetary loss suffered by the Applicant's friends and family members due to his undue detention" is not supported by evidence or justification. The Court further notes that, in any event, the claim relates to the conviction, sentencing and incarceration of the Applicant and does not therefore warrant damages as earlier found. The Court consequently dismisses the request. iii. Legal fees related to domestic proceedings 187. The Applicant claims the payment of US Dollars Two Thousand ($2,000) for legal fees incurred during proceedings in domestic courts where he was represented by Mara Advocates in the Court of Appeal proceedings. The Respondent State prays the Court to reject the claim as the Applicant was represented by counsel on a pro bono basis both before the High Court and the Court of Appeal. *** 188. The Court recalls that, in line with its case law, reparation may include payment of legal fees and other expenses incurred in the course of domestic proceedings. 56 The Applicant must provide justification for the amounts c1aimed.'7 189. In the instant case, the Court concluded earlier that the violations found did not fundamentally affect the conviction and sentencing of the Applicant. The alleged loss is therefore not justified. Furthermore, the Applicant does not challenge the Respondent State's submission that he was provided free legal representation in the course of domestic proceedings. In any event, in absence of evidence to support the claim, the same is dismissed. See Norbert Zanga and Others v. Burkina Faso (Reparations), op. cit., §§. 79-93; and Reverend Christopher Mtiki/a v. Tanzania (Reparations), op. cit., §. 39. 57 Norbert Zanga and Others v. Burkina Faso (Reparations), §. 81; and Reverend Mtikila v. Tanzania (Reparations), op. cit., §. 40. 56 45
