The therapy through theater project intended for persons sentenced to life imprisonment will be continued in 2017. The detainees will continue to play alongside professional actors in the play “Hamlet. Process”, which was launched at Penitentiary No. 17 in Rezina in September 2016. Such an agreement was reached in a meeting of the administration of the Ministry of Justice with the Norwegian Mission of Rule of Law Advisers to Moldova (NORLAM), IPN reports.
